Cannot install or update through Terminal Get this Error (in the body of question)

Question

Everything was working fine but now every-time I run sudo apt-get install (program) or even sudo apt-get update I get this message:

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

what must I do to fix this? I am running Ubuntu 13.10 32-bit

Answer 1

If you got this error

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

suddenly run this command,

sudo dpkg --configure -a

And then try to update or install packages.
