when i log into the Synaptic Package Manager this error message pops up:

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

I have tried running 'dpkg --configure -a' in terminal and it has said:

*****@********-laptop:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
[sudo] password for ********:
Setting up ufw (0.23.2) ...

Processing triggers for libc6 ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
Setting up cups (1.3.9-2ubuntu6.1) ...
Reloading AppArmor profiles : done.
* Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd [ OK ]

dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed.
Aborted


What do i do now?:confused:

If you look the OP has already used sudo.

It would be great if you could describe how you got it to work, was the solution in that other thread you linked?

I was actually following this thread but had no idea how to help you get it to work :)
