Hi

I have just installed Heron on my pc, when I went to install Java, it wouldn't allow me to press ok, at the end of the agreement.

I got this message,

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

I have no idea how to fix it. Could I please get some help.

with thanks

From a terminal (it's on the Applications->Accessories menu), type in
sudo dpkg --configure -a and press 'Enter'. It will ask for your password, which won't show as you type it in (as a security precaution) and press 'Enter"

Thank you so much that is awesome, it works, BUT does that mean that Java needs to be installed again, or is it already installed?

To be honest, I'm not sure - it can depend on what's being installed when the error pops up. Anyone else got any thoughts?

Hi and yes you will need to install java again but when you see the ok button use the tab key to highlight and then enter. You should be good then. :)

This should cover everything


sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Hope it helps

To install java


sudo aptitude install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin

To move around in the ncurses terminal, use the Tab key or arrow keys. Use the space bar to highlight 'OK' then hit Enter.
