Title:
when dpkg is broken it should
At the very least, the error message should tell you to run
sudo dpkg --configure -a
instead of
dpkg --configure -a
which just tells you you don't have permission to run the command. It's
silly. You interrupted package management. Type in this command to
continue. Okay I've typed the command.
Step 2 can be replaced with update the system normally or install a
package normally. It fails very often and requires the user to run
dpkg --configure -a leaving them with a system they can't update or
install any packages on.

when dpkg is broken it should auto repair itself
Btw, same thing with apt-get install -f. Leaves the user with the same
problem.
