Any time I try to install Flash or OpenJDK or any additional items, I keep getting the same error.

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

What do I need to do? When I try to type that line in the terminal window it says I need superuser privledges. I only have 1 user on here so far and I'm the admin....

I am definatly new to Ubuntu so...try to be specific. lol

sudo dpkg --configure -a
