I was looking at currently available updates. apt-listbugs listed a pretty serious issue with the kernel update I meant to cancel out of the update process but bumped the enter key by accident. I immediateyl hit Ctrl-c to stop the upgrade from taking place but the system had already mad e afew change rather rapidly I might add..
Now it wants me to do a
'dpkg --configure -a' before I can do anything else with the package management system...
What options do I have at this point ? any suggestions ?
