I'm always hesitant to making a new thread fearing I am asking a very common question but I'm frustrated so I'm not so worried about that right now.
I was installing a couple packages on Hardy and the installation stopped midway. I checked the Details tab and it seemed to be a failed installation. Then without thinking I closed Synaptic and I tried the install in terminal. I got the error message that includes "you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem."
Fine
So I did so. I am familiar, but when I run "dpkg, etc, etc" I just get the same thing. It tries to install the package but with the same result of the installation stopping indefinitely midway.
That is how I cannot install anything unless I can find a tarball or deb.
