configure problem

  Date: Jan 04    Category: Unix / Linux / Ubuntu    Views: 270
  

When I update it says dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg
--configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: Couldn't rebuild package cache

So when I go to the terminal and type in dpkg --configure -a it tells
me I don't have superuser privileges. What now?

In the terminal, type sudo dpkg --configure -a and, when prompted for a
password, enter your logon passsword and everything should be OK :-)

That is very simple. You did the right thing, but to able superuser or root
privs
you need to type in

sudo dpkg --configure -a

It will ask for a password, it most like to be the pass work you use to login
as.
