Re: Problem with Synaptic Package Manager

That is the prompt I got which solved my "java install bug". You
actually need to type in:

'sudo dpkg --configure -a' and then provide your password to get it to run.

That fixed the problem I was having. I hope it works for you too.

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

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a'

E:_cache->open() failed, please report.

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

dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege'

I'm pretty new to Linux, I'd appreciate help on figuring out what to
do. I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon as a virtual machine with VirtualBox.
Thanks,
Andrew
