Ubuntu

how do you manually run 'sudo dpkg

Asked by hunte567

I keep getting this error in the synaptic package manager. E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report. Im new to ubuntu, can you tell in detail how to get this off. Thanks

Open your terminal: Applications->Accessories->Terminal and just issue the command as displayed:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

You are to input your own password when prompted. Password will not be echoed back in your screen for security purpose. Just input your password and press the return key when done.

Can you help with this problem?
