I'm opening this back up. The error message is unclear and *will*
confuse new users. It should either include the "sudo" prefix or state
that it must be run "as root" or "with superuser privileges" or
something of the sort. As it stands, the user will try "dpkg
--configure -a" and get permission denied, even though they were just
following directions.

apt-get tells me to run "dpkg", but the correct command is "sudo dpkg"
