I can't update/install packages anymore...I keep getting this warning.

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


Anyone know how to fix that??

sudo dpkg --configure -aThe error message doesn't mention you need to run as superuser.

I run both "sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install" at the same time.

Sometimes just the former will work just fine. Best to do one at a time to see if the latter is needed or not.
