Everything was working fine but now every-time I run sudo apt-get install (program) or even sudo apt-get update I get this message:

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

what must I do to fix this? I am running Ubuntu 13.10 32-bit

If you got this error

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

suddenly run this command,

sudo dpkg --configure -a

And then try to update or install packages.

  • I would accept this if it would let me but the time limit is too long. Just wondering why was this happening in the first place? – user223628 Jan 03 '14 at 09:48
