Ubuntu

fix updating?

Asked by Mister

When I try to do my software updates I get this error message. How do I fix this?

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

Open a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and type in -

sudo dpkg --configure -a

then press enter. You will be asked for your password - type it in and notice that nothing is displayed as you type the password (it is a security measure). Press enter once you have finished typing the password.
