Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: synaptic
Hi,
When some synaptic process is interrupted (eg. sudden power down), the next
time the regular updates window may pop :
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct
the problem.
Most user don't understand what to do in this case, as many help
requests and bugreport shows. Even those users advanced enough to launch
a terminal window and copy the command may not guess to prefix the
command with "sudo".
The dialog should be slightly changed to add the ability to actually run
the above-mentioned commands.
This slight change may shift the "apparently broken"/non-updatable
computer back to normal usage, for regular users.
Thanks
