E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
... should I just enter "dpkg --configure -a" into the terminal emulator, or is that just tooo obvious?
TIA!

You will need to prefix with 'sudo' as it requires elevated privilege.
Code: [Select]
Code:
sudo dpkg --configure -aYou should be prompted for your password and it will run, then try upgrading again.

Great thank you - I did that, and got a long list of update lines in the emulator window which ended with:
Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-firmware
linux-image-generic
linux-generic
Which I thought looked unpromising... but I ran updates again, which took ages but seems to have worked :-)
Cheers!
