Setting up briquolo (0.5.6-1ubuntu1) ...

I had several programs installing using apt-get. Of course my battery died on my laptop. I restarted the computer plugged in and attempted to use apt-get again when I was given a error that I need to run dpkg --configure -a to fix.

I ran that command and after reading some other forums ran apt-get -f install and I get the following error(s):

lbsimmon@lbsimmon-laptop:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up briquolo (0.5.6-1ubuntu1) ...
