I was installing Xampp from terminal using sudo apt-get install lamp-server

My computer shut down while lamp-server was still installing.

I ran sudo apt-get install lamp-server again and it returned the following error:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

    We're sorry, but this site is all about Ubuntu and its official derivatives as posted on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases so BackBox is off-topic here as well. However, on http://unix.stackexchange.com, a sister site to Ask Ubuntu, they're very good at all varieties of Linux and Unix, so you might be better off there. ;-) – Fabby Jun 21 '15 at 07:28

  1. Open a terminal (CTRL+ALT+T)
  2. type sudo dpkg --configure -a
  3. Done! You can now run sudo apt-get install lamp-server!

Remember to mark this as an answer if I helped! It only takes a few seconds of your time and helps other users who have the same problem solve their issues. Thanks!
