Can't install software - pelouk - 08-19-2014
I seem to be having the same difficulty as Tom47 described on this thread:-
https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/index.php?topic=741.0
I was also trying to install Chrome and kept getting the following Error notice:
ERROR
"Chrome could not be installed."
I tried the Install/Remove Software work-around suggested by gold-finger on the same thread but Synaptic keeps kicking me out with this:
AN ERROR OCCURED.
The following details are provided
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
Just wondering if anyone has experienced the same issues and resolved them.

Hi Pelouk,
I just want to confirm that you have run Install Updates (menu > all > install updates)?
Thanks
Re: Can't install software - pelouk - 08-19-2014
Yes I have, thanks. I tend to update pretty much every time I boot up but it hasn't done anything re this problem.

I can't help with the second line, but for the first line open up a terminal (menu -> XFCE terminal) and type
sudo dpkg --configure -a
When asked for password, enter your user password.

Yeah, I had to do this too. When I did, it corrected the synaptic problem, I was able to get what I needed, and all was great!!!
Follow what they say and you should be fine.
Good luck. ;D
