Can someone instruct me as to how to remove this bug. The following is the notice I received:
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/bin/update-manager", line 91, in <module>

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeController.py", line 352, in prepare

raise CacheExceptionDpkgInterrupted, e

CacheExceptionDpkgInterrupted: E:dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

Just an extra note here, I have a dual-partition windows/Ubuntu with a Edubuntu add on.
ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED - THANK YOU

When I typed in "sudo dpkg --configure -a" in the terminal, it came up with

dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0006' near line 1:
newline in field name `more.'

Can anybody help me as to how to proceed. Thanks.

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

And then I typed in "sudo apt-get -f install" as you mentioned. And as a result I got the following message

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

So, it seems that I need to Manually run the "dpkg -- configure -a" from which I don't know how to do. I hope this INFO. is helpful in trying to get help to resolve my problem here. THANKS
