dpkg was interrupted solved

[orduek]

what happend?
When i opened the Synaptec manager it gave me that error:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

I checked these forums and tried everything.
sudo dpkg --configure -a
and got:
Setting up initramfs-tools (0.85eubuntu20) ...
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)

Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24.2

dpkg: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

then did sudo apt-get update and got:

I can see two possible errors

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24.2

This is not the kernel version Mint is using. Mint has 2.6.22-14
Also the different repos mentioned indicates that you have a very non standard sources.list which can cause all sorts of problems
The standard one (with Romeo enabled) below

OK.
I changed the sources.list (copy and pasted what you wrote).
How can I change back the header image?
