I do believe if you open Terminal and run "dpkg --configure -a" , that should probably take care of things. You may have to "sudo dpkg --configure -a" . Luckily, the error message suggested what to do next. Good luck.

That means you need to put sudo in front of the command:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Humm ... Make sure the package manager isn't open. Then enter the dpkg command in a terminal.
