download manager doesnt allow installation

[mat429]

Hi,

i have just attempted to download some additional programs via the add/remove programs application.

i get the following message

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

when i try to run the configure i get an error saying i need to be a superuser..

any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Mat

You need to put sudo infront of the command to give you admin rights so type

sudo dpkg --configure -a
