You can try this:
1. open terminal > sudo killall apt-get && sudo killall synaotic && sudo killall dpkg-reconfigure
2. sudo dpkg-reconfigure package-name again.

The command Synaptic was suggesting you run was *not*:

sudo dpkg-configure a

Nor was it:

sudo dpkg-configure a'

Rather, the *correct* command is:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

You can copy that command and paste it into the Terminal, so you don't make any mistakes.

If that does not fix your problem, then follow the steps at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure. That may fix your problem. If it doesn't, then please provide the information obtained from running that procedure. Make sure to include *all* the text from the Terminal. You can post it as a reply in this question; you do not need to start a new question (the PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure suggests that because it assumes you have not yet started a question about your problem).

Can you help with this problem?
