Ubuntu :: Updates With Tweak And Video Codec - Error "dpkg Was Interrupted, You Must Manually Run 'sudo Dpkg --configure -a' To Correct The Problem"

May 26, 2011

I installed the software Ubuntu Tweak yesterday and I was satisfied of how it worked. today, surfing the internet I was hoping to find a solution to a couple of problems that I have: the computer sometimes get stuck when opening videos or photos - I can't see streaming TV. when the internet browser was asking me to install plug-in in order to show the videos I tried to install them but errors occurred.

so I followed the instruction in [URL] (many of these things didn't work and the terminal was showing error messages...) now after rebooting I have got the unity 2D I think (which is fine as I can't notice great differences) but I can't install the updates from Ubuntu Tweak the error message is: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. how can I fix it and get my video codecds?

Ubuntu :: Sudo Aptitude Install USplash - DPKG Interrupted

Jan 2, 2010

I was installing something, usplash, I think it was...
I ran $ sudo aptitude install usplash
and after it asked me if I wanted to install some aditional packages, it returned this:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

I have seen this error before. I just ran the command
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
And it returned this:
Setting up initramfs-tools (0.92bubuntu29) ...
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)

Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28.10-some-string-here

update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28.10-some-string-here
dpkg: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

I did an:
$ aptitude search initramfs-tools
and I noticed that it had a "C" next to it. I think this has something to do with the package not being configured correctly or at all. Also looks like it is trying to generate an initd, but missing something. That kernel name looks kinda funky, though...

Ubuntu Installation :: 'sudo Dpkg --configure -a' Freezes And Does Nothing For A Long Time?

Sep 21, 2010

I'm trying to fix a friends EeePC notebook (Asus) running a recently upgraded Ubuntu 10.04 from Karmic Koala. She used the update manager for the upgrade to 10.04 LTS and everything was fine until she had tried to install something from the Ubuntu Software Center (she doesn't remember what happened). After that, both Update manager and Synaptic stopped working.Update manager gives the following error:Quote:Software index is broken. ... Try to use synaptic for something?!...

Then Synaptic manager gives the following error:Quote:E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.And when I try that command, the terminal just keeps blinking with the cursor and does nothing for more than an hour. This is the output of the comand:Quote:

Ubuntu :: DPKG Interrupted - How To Remove Unneeded Installs

May 24, 2010

I attempted to install gnucash just now to test it out, but, in the middle of the installation (which I was doing through Terminal), something happened and dpkg was interrupted. I'm unable to provide the Terminal output because (a) for some reason, prior to the error messages about a segment fault, the terminal shows a number of blank lines and does not show me what happened before the segfault, and (b) after the segfault, when I tried starting up gedit or make a screen capture, the prompt windows were blank, so I was unable to save the terminal output to either.

When I restarted Ubuntu, it told me that /tmp was not ready; I waited for it to mount, and, apparently, it did, as Ubuntu restarted fine. I tried updating my software, as the icon in my panel was telling me I needed updates. However, it told me that dpkg had been interrupted and that I needed to troubleshoot it with sudo apt-get install -f, which then told me to run sudo dpkg --configure -a, which I did, receiving the following output:

Code:
sqlu@thalamus:~$ sudo apt-get install -f
[sudo] password for sqlu:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
sqlu@thalamus:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up libktoblzcheck1c2a (1.24-2) .....

It looks like there were errors with a number of packages, and I'm guessing something else might have also broken. Since I'm already using homebank and don't really need to use gnucash, I was wondering if there was a way for me to check what was installed by gnucash and remove those packages, since they're cluttering my system, and I'm concerned that they might interfere with other packages if they're broken or something. I've been using Ubuntu for about two years now and have some knowledge of the command line and such, but I'd say my skills are still pretty basic. I'm running 64-bit 10.04.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade Interrupted - Unable To Access DPKG Status Area

Jan 6, 2010

I was in the process of upgrading my ubuntu system (probably the latest version, it was about a month ago) and my computer froze (it does that on occasion). I have looked around this site, and tried a few things. I assume I am supposed to use the command "sudo dpkg --configure -a" to fix it. The problem is that when I do that, I get the message "dpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: read-only file system". So, what do I do now? I definitely dont want to mess up my system, but I want to fix it.

Ubuntu :: Dpkg - List Manually Installed Packages?

Sep 17, 2010

I'd like to list all packages I installed since the installation. The tricky part is that I don't care for dependencies - only clean list of what I ordered to install. I went through man pages and I did not find anything relevant. Also /var/log/apt/history* doesn't say what I requested and what came as a dependency.

For gentoo-aware folks, I am looking for something like "world" file.

Software :: Broken Dependencies Using Sudo Dpkg -?

Jan 17, 2011

I have a fairly old debian distribution running on the linux Kernel 2.6.18-4-686 and I did something silly which has broken multiple packages. I use the manual package installation command (sudo dpkg -i filename.deb) to install a single package (gcc base) however I did this using the latest version of the package which seems to have broken my GCC package completely and I am unable to compile c++ anymore.

When I now load the Synaptic Package Manager it tells me that I have 10 broken packages and when I use the fix feature it tells me I need to update other packages to fix the depencies (it selects almost every single package on my system to be removed at this point!).

I cant change the system too much because the software packages are set up specifically to run a certain application and I don't want to change anything incase I make it stop working!

So my question is this:

If I go to the synaptic Package Manager and uninstall the broken packages (they are all gcc related), will I be able to use the aptitude command to install GCC again? If so will it automatically install the version of GCC that will work with my system? or will it try and install the latest version and then update the rest of my system?
