I recently installed Ubuntu 8.10 (installed within Windows XP) on an Asus Eee PC 1000 (10/30mb SSD, 1mb RAM). Opening Update Manager showed 301 updates available (278mb) and when proceeding gave exactly the above error messages.
Having consulted Keir Thomas' Pocket Guide & Reference (I am a complete Linux virgin, but happy with the old CPM & DOS command line), I manually ran: sudo dkpg --configure -a (working out the need for the sudo command took me a while !) It worked and all the updates appear to have downloaded & installed successfully. -- the update manager doesnt work E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299712 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
