Freezing the system. Packages error. sudo dpkg --configure -a
Hi!
I need your advise, guys! First of all I am running Ubuntu 9.4 on my laptop (Toshiba). Everything is working fine, even NVidia original driver, huh. But I have faced the problem, while trying to load system update with russian language at one moment everything on the screen was freezed. After rebooting - works fine, but when I run AddRemove Application it says: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. Well, ok, when I go to terminal (even using root) and run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" everything is freezing again. Well, I have reinstalled Ubuntu, with only english interface language, got updates - OK, then I have tried to install Open Office and some other progs. Same story. E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. I can live without OpenOffice, but please let me know how I can cut the line of packages for installation, since I am not sure it would not repeat in the future. And in fact, I can not install anything else! After commands like sudo apt-get install rpm E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. stas@ubuntu:~$ Once again, everything is freezing after manual sudo dpkg. Thanks, have a great day! |

Are you running Ubuntu from windows or a wubi install? Also have you tried to update the repositories? Unless you have a fast connection i.e. adsl or broadband, this can take a while to run and I am wondering if somehow the package database has got corrupted in your case. |
