failed update : need command to run

[kahnkeller]

Hello....yesterday my update on linux lite 3.4 stopped and I shut my pc down....when I tried to update I got the following message:

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

I have tried all sorts of commands...but the system keeps telling me I am not doing what is needed..... could one of you computer gurus tell me the words to type.... thanks....Keller

You didn't mention the obvious...whether you actually tried running dpkg --configure -a, and if so, what was the output?

If you have run the command, consider using Lite Tweaks and running the Package System Repair fix.

Same problem here. And it's not first time i've seen this error.
I tried the command and System Repair Fix, but nothing.
It's really disappointing cause it happens after installing System updates.

Please try these commands right after each other.

Code:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

This should reload the package cache and install updates, afterwards you should be able to check for updates using the normal update icon. These are the commands I ran to fix and you can probably leave off the last one and use the update icon and have no issues.

That worked for me.  Thanks.  Before that I was getting the install updates reminder , but only to be informed that I was up to date on initiating updates.
