Hello Everyone!

I am having trouble loading updates. It has worked in the past, but now I get an error message as follows:

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.


I attempted to run 'dpkg --configure -a' in Terminal and got "need to be superuser" error message.

This is where I am stuck. Any suggestions?

Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

Put sudo in front of dpkg --configure -a to give you admin rights.

sudo dpkg --configure -a

sudo dpkg --configure -a


I have the exact same problem, but this didn't help me. After writing

sodu dpkg --configure -a

I got

bash: sodu: command not found

ANY HELP ?

Looks like you have typo it is meant to be sudo not sodu

sudo dpkg --configure -a
