When I try to open Synaptic Package Manager I get the following error message:

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

I put 'dpkg --configure -a' into a terminal, and got this message:

dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege'

run it as

sudo dpkg --configure -a

It will ask for your password - see
