Error message in Synaptic Package Manager and when trying to install Kubuntu Desktop
I am using Ubuntu 9.10. I am trying to install the KDE Desktop, Kubuntu, from the section in help called "Using KDE or Xfce instead of the GNOME desktop" but I click Install the kubuntu-desktop package, then I click install, after that I get the error message
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
I also get this when I try to open Synaptic Package Manager. Please can someone tell me how to fix this.
