Received: Tuesday, July
I am getting this message 'sudo dpgk --configurate-a', it tells me to
'run' it - I don't even know what 'run' means. What am I supposed to do?
I don't know anything about computers just want it to work. Can someone
please explain in plain English. If I have to type something in, where
and how? Than
fix the problem. There is a way to fix the problem from a graphical
interface, but I am not able to help you with that presently.
Regards,
Andrew Zajac

Very simple patch to add 'sudo' to that string.

I'll start compiling a list of threads about this as I run into them.
Unbelievable that the problem wasn't touched for two years.

I'm opening this back up. The error message is unclear and *will*
confuse new users. It should either include the "sudo" prefix or state
that it must be run "as root" or "with superuser privileges" or
something of the sort. As it stands, the user will try "dpkg
--configure -a" and get permission

Why do we even tell the user "you must run "?
Why not just offer to run it for them, possibly after prompting:
"dpkg was interrupted;
I was about to report this bug myself.
dpkg ought to be patched so that on Ubuntu it tells the user to use
“sudo”. This is not a matter of opinion. It is Ubuntu policy to gain
root privileges with “sudo” and not with “su”.
Remember that the message is for the benefit of new users. Experts

If there are other approaches which work in a default install, then
mention one of them instead. I suggested using "sudo dpkg --configure
-a" since I know that works in a default install.
The command which is currently suggested, "dpkg --configure -a", just
plain doesn't work in a default ubuntu
Though this might seem the right approach, it's probably not. There's
other ways of gaining access. sudo is just one approach.
