Public bug reported: With Update Manager, on clicking Install Updates I get this error message first:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. I'm new to Linux, but I tried running the required command in the terminal, but was told I needed SuperUser privileges - not sure what to do about that. Anyway, I'm reporting the problem. Still have 34 outstanding updates to install.
