Urgent Upgrade

[Peterfc]

On release day i upgraded to Ubuntu 8.4 and all worked well. I now have an important security update .

I get the messages i have pasted below. Can anybody help this newbie. Thanks for all who looked at this post

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.



Version 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu7.1:

* SECURITY UPDATE: integer overflow in start_kdeinit. The start_kdeinit
processing of user-influenceable input is faulty. A local user
might be able to send unix signals to other processes, cause
a denial of service or even possibly execute arbitrary code.
* Add kubuntu_9903_kinit_integer_overflow.diff, edits
kinit/start_kdeinit.c, patch from upstream KDE

Just do as the error message asks.


In a terminal:


sudo dpkg --configure -a

then


sudo apt-get update

(just for good measure)

Then try to update/upgrade again ;)
