Sotware Update stuck

[Tex-Twil]

Hi,
quite often when I update my packages using the Software Update, the installation does not finish and stays stuck at "Running dpkg ..."

What shall I do in this case? Just close the installer?

cheers

close the install then go to a terminal and do the following
one command at a time.


sudo apt-get update
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get upgrade

post any error codes you get.
