Hello, I receive the following error when wanting to do apt-get upgrade or update.
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run ‘sudo dpkg --configure -a’ to correct the problem.
Unfortunately I cannot run dpkg as it says it isn’t installed. I can’t install it do the problem. So what can I do?
Thanks!

Hello,
Have you tried running the
dpkg
command with sudo? If this does not work, try running:This should give you the full path to the dpkg binary, then you could run the
sudo /path/to/dpkg --configure -a
with the full path to thedpkg
and this should work fine in this case.Regards, Bobby
