My internet dropped while I was updating. Suddenly I couldn't install or upgrade anything. When I do this message loops and eats my RAM until I have to reset:


update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3/12/0-57-generic

When I run
sudo apt-get xxxx it gives me:


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


dpkg --configure -a causes the same infite loop above.

Any ideas? I considered reinstalling but I don't have the installation disk and I have a data cap on my internet and can't download the iso.
