Trying to "install some useful fonts"

[JanetBiggar]

I am following one of the easylinuxtips suggestions, in particular from an article called "Libre Office: Configure it right" specifically:

6. Install some useful fonts, in order to improve the compatibility with documents from Microsoft Office:
Launch a terminal window (this is how to launch a terminal window).
Use copy/paste to transfer this line into the terminal (it's one line!):

sudo apt-get install fonts-crosextra-carlito fonts-crosextra-caladea

Press Enter. Type your password when prompted; this will remain entirely invisible, not even asterisks will show, which is normal.
___________

I have done this successfully before with other computers, but after I type my password with this particular computer I get the following:

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

I'm unsure what exactly I am suppose to do (type the above in..?).  I wanted to get some clarification before I perhaps screwed something up.

Any suggestions?

Most likely an update was cancelled...

In terminal run the command:

Code:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

It should correct itself

sudo apt-get install lite-fonts will give you a whole lot of MS Office fonts.

Thank you both. I will probably do both suggestions and once done will modify this post title when successful.
