Uh oh. I'm in the blender now. Ok, here's what happened. I was using the Add/Remove to download some files, while playing Sauerbraten (Cube 2). Unfortunately, while loading a map, Sauerbraten crashed, as it has a tendency to do so occasionally. I was forced to reboot my computer, and I fear that the downloaded files were badly corrupted. None of the programs I was installing worked, and now every time I try using the package manager, the update manager, or anything like that, it comes up with this error message:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache-> open() failed, please report. I might have only installed Ubuntu last week, and it was my first ever Linux distro, but I at least recognized the command 'dpkg --configure -a' as a Terminal command, which seems to be the Linux version of the DOS prompt. I put in the terminal command and it comes up with this: dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege So what's a superuser? I set up this computer, and I gave my user account full access to everything. So why is it telling me this?
