E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of clamav:
clamav depends on clamav-freshclam (>= 0.99.2+dfsg) | clamav-data; however:
Package clamav-freshclam is not installed.
Package clamav-data is not installed.
Package clamav-freshclam which provides clamav-data is not installed.
This isn't a ClamAV problem; this is an issue with how you've gone
about installing a third-party package. It looks like you're using
either Debian or Ubuntu.
The last few lines above should clearly report the problem - the ClamAV
package depends on one of two packages that arrange to provide the Clam
signatures (either clamav-freshclam - which will actively get and update
them with freshclam, or clamav-data, which may be a separate static
package containing the signature files, or may be a "virtual" package
provided by clamav-freshclam).
However, it should also be impossible to get into this state when using
the standard package management tools. Did you manually download a
ClamAV .deb and install it with dpkg -i?
I'd recommend running "sudo apt-get -f install clamav" to get the
package management tools to fix the dependency issue.
