Linux Mint Forums

Hi.

Yesterday, when updating Mint on my laptop, my internet connection was interrupted. Today, when updating I got the following message:

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

I copied and pasted the "dpkg --configure -a" bit into a terminal ...............but I got the message "requested operation requires super-user privilege"


I am the Admin for this laptop. I don't know what a Super-user is. What do I try next please?

Any help appreciated.

stick the word sudo in front of that command and press enter. Put in your user password and press enter again.

Thanks very much ANTIKYTHERA. That did the trick.
