This is what I get when I run it. It's still broken. Cannot install flash.

Vojtěch Trefný suggests this article as an answer to your question:
FAQ #52: “Can't install new software and updates”.
"If I try and run dpkg --configure -a I am told that requires superuser privileges."
→ you have to run it with sudo - "sudo dpkg --configure -a"
Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications-
sudo dpkg --configure -a
give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.
Hope this helps

Thank you both for your prompt replies.
marcobra sudo dpkg --configure -a seems to have worked for now I am downloading 198 updates onto my laptop!
Many thanks to both of you,
John

when I try to do that it says that it is locked by another process
(yes this is while I am logged in as a super user)
