Unable to install update - longsax8032 - 10-23-2018

I am very new to Linux Lite - I'm learning. When I was trying to update linux lite, something happened, not sure what, and my little asus eee 1000he shut off. i restarted and started the update process again and got this error:

============ Log ===========

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

When I try to run it, I get an error stating I need superuser privileges. Do I need to sign in as the admin?

Type sudo before the command:

Code:
sudo dpkg --configure -a

then enter your password when prompted.

Then try updating again

You need to run the command as sudo dpkg --configure -a and press enter.
Enter your password and press enter......The command will then run.
When its finished reboot and try to update again.......Should be fine.


You beat me to it there Deepthought
