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

I was trying to install wine following this--

4) Wine

Wine is a must-have application for those who can’t live without their Windows applications, It allows you to install your Windows application in your Ubuntu machine and run them like native Windows apps.
sudo apt-get install wine

Once you have installed Wine, remember to run the configuration (Applications -> Wine -> Configure Wine) before attempting to install your favorite Windows app.

Terminal came up with EULA. I did not know how to proceed. I pressed enter, typed OK then enter and nothing happened. I decided to close terminal.



When I opened terminal again and ran another "sudo apt-get install" this was what I got:


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

I restarted my pc and still got the same message on my terminal.

I typed 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'" but nothing happened.

What did I just do here and what happened? What should I do now?

It's my first week on ubuntu. Thanks!

If you got no output from the dpkg --reconfigure command, it probably worked. It's safe to try your next installation again. Feel free to let us know how you get on.

I think things are working now. I was able to open the wine configuration window. Thanks!

^do this

then when installing again, and doing EULA, press [TAB]

Thanks for that EULA tip. I'll do that next time.

Wine is now downloading .NET to my pc. I think everything is running as it should. I'll mark this thread as solved then.

I appreciate your help. Thank you very much!
