Ubuntu – dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run ‘sudo dpkg –configure -a’ to correct the problem.

dpkgupdates

I got this error while installing ubuntu-restricted-extras:

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

So I ran that in terminal:

vennesa@vennesa-ThinkPad-R61:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up update-notifier-common (0.126) ...
flashplugin-installer: downloading http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.270.orig.tar.gz

Since then I can't install any thing. What do I do?

Best Answer

I find out an easy way, if sudo dpkg --configure -a wasting so much of time in installing your file just give abort the process and give sudo dpkg --remove -a it will remove all the uninstalled files and if you want you can install it again by giving sudo apt-get install your_soft_name.
