I was doing a apt-get dist-upgrade and was asked by one of the upgrade jobs to choose whether or not to take the default package configuration or to keep my own configuration. I chose to take a look at how different those two were and wasn’t able to come back by press enter on the OK. So I Control-C it to come out of the window–bad idea. I received this message:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run ‘dpkg –configure -a’ to correct the problem.
Took me a while and some googling to try to find out what’s wrong with it. I run “dpkg –configure -a” and couldn’t get myself out of it. At the end, with the help from this post, I learned that I’ve forgotten to put “sudo” in front of it. Big time…
