synaptic package manager error in 8.04 (alpha 6)
My Synaptic Package manage gives this error:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
I open Terminal to run the proposed dpkg
txt@tran:~$ dpkg --configure -a
dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
txt@tran:~$ root
bash: root: command not found
txt@tran:~$ cd ..
txt@tran:/home$ cd ..
txt@tran:/$ cd root
txt@tran:/root$ dpkg --configure -a
