Public bug reported:

Since ubuntu doesn't set a root password, wouldn't it make sense to
include the "sudo" prefix in error messages like the following?

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct 
the problem.
(ubuntu) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg --configure -a
dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege

apt-get tells me to run "dpkg ...", but when I do it doesn't work.

It would be better if it told me explicitly to run "sudo dpkg ..."
instead.

** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
