anybody please help me out with my synaptic package manager..actually i m a newbie in linux & i have recently installed Ultimate 2.0 edition..
while i was installing some new packages through synaptic package manager, my pc turned off without being shutdown due to emergency power-cut..After that when I turned on my pc and tried to run synaptic p/m to install the incomplete packages, an error message poped up which says
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
then I tried to run dpkg --configure -a in Terminal..But i got this msg
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0000' near line 3:
newline in field name `#padding'
now I am totally in fix about what to do now as I m not understanding anything...anymore..
PLEASE help me out..............
