Looks like an issue with dpkg trying to do some task. My guess is an entry in /var ought to be more precise.
The package linux-headers-3.0.0-12 has some issues but I can't be sure if it is a local issue or network issue. see if you can install linux-headers-3.0.0-12 |
'dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting' trying to install 'trimage'
Hey, Jefro
Thx for your help and quick response. I think I did what you said. Here's what I get. What does it mean and what do I do? $ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.0.0-12 E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. |
Try this as in your error message
