I am trying to run update manager and it fails telling me to run
dpkg --configure -a
dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
I figured out from the forums that I need to type sudo in front. That resulted in me getting this error.
parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0039' near line 1:
field name `,' must be followed by colon
I tried using the synaptic package manager to get rid of this file since i cannot delete or edit it directly, and that also did not work. Does anyone have any advice? Is it really important that I have the update manager working?
Thanks,
David
