Upgrade Error

[kocis]

I am trying to upgrade 9.0.4 on a Thinkpad T42 and get the following error.

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

How do I proceeed? Thanks

Open the terminal and run:


sudo dpkg --configure -a

Hi, open a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) and run the command that it mentions with

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Thanks. Just tried that but when I am asked for my password I am unable to type it into terminal.

Hi kocis.

Just type your password and hit enter.

You won't see the password as you type. It's for security.

Did you get another error ? What is it saying ?

[kocis]

Thanks. It worked. It says I have a broken package though.

All set now. Thanks.

Thanks. It worked. It says I have a broken package though.

Click system> administration> synaptic package manager.

Enter password.

In the left side, click broken packages.

It should give you an option to fix broken packages.
