Superuser Privilege is the privilege given to execute commands as root in linux..
You must use sudo for superuser privileges in ubuntu

For a nice description of sudo ref:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

To execute the command, type the following in a terminal (applications -> accessories ->terminal)

sudo dpkg--configure-a
