During an update (after installing Hardy 8.04), my computer crashed (I had an APIC error), which seems to have corrupted dpkg.
When I go to System > Management > Update-Manager, I get a warning telling me to run
dpkg --configure -a
because dpkg was interrupted.
When I run that command, I get the following output:
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0052' near line 1:
nieuwe regel in veldnaam `padding'
I then tried
sudo dpkg --clear-avail, that seemed to work (no output).
Next, I ran
sudo apt-get update and got (after a list of repositories):
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
So I'm kind of in an infinite loop here :( Suggestions are welcome.
