Superuser permission - pelouk - 11-21-2017

I'm trying to uninstall and reinstall Firefox in LL 2.8 using Synaptic Package Manager (SPM). I keep getting an error notice when trying to launch the SPM telling me that I need to make a report and run this terminal command.:-



E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.


When trying to run that, I'm told I need Superuser permission.  Help!!

Run the command with sudo..  You'll be prompted for your password...


Code:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
