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

'dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem' Thats the message i got today, when i tried to run apt-get commands in terminal on my Ubuntu 7.0.4.This is second time for me and after upgrading my kernel this problem started.I was puzzled and started Googling.

Here is a magical command that saved me two times so far, which i got from ubuntu forums.It worked both times for me.

'sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install' run it in terminal without quotes.


so finally an advice pls do search in linuxquestions.org or the forums...

I'd like to begin this post with the funniest and the most different thing that happened ... guess what? Heard of a fortune cookie ... How does that work.. See it for yourself  Amazing isn't it... Started feeling the difference at Dallas. A super family to meet, a long awaited trip that was completed successfully and many mixed feelings for having taken a turn at the crucial juncture in my life, looking curiously to see how things would unwind as days progress, one of my uncle told me that United States is the Mecca of education ,I wish this would become a blessing for me to see what's next best in my life, thanks to my parents and the almighty for helping me grow gradually in my life and become what I'm today, I'm indebted to everything they've  given and shared with me.
