Having an error loading updates and software
I'm having this issue: When I try to install something or update I get this error message:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
I followed the directions to fix it and it still won't work. It says:command not found.

I already tried the and it gave me the command not found.

sudo dpkg --configure -a
entered in a terminal windows give you an "command not found" error ?
could you copy/paste what you enter on the screen and what the system replies ?

Thankssudo command.

Billy take care of spaces... when you type commands:
sudo <space> dpkg <space> --configure <space> -a
give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.
Hope this helps
