Error ? hmm

[bjarnii]

Hello :) I am new with linux (installed it yesterday) and I have got an error :/, something like "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report." When I am going inside the synaptic package manager. Please help :) thanks

You need to do what the error says and run this command in a terminal:


dpkg --configure -a

At a terminal, do:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Application->Accessories->Terminal

um lol now there came something "You have 1 broken package on your system!

Use the "Broken" filter to locate it."

[sayakb]

sudo apt-get install -f

If it generates any error messages, copy them and post them here..
