Dear Sir,
Can someone help me in solving my system updates error like under mentioned
===========================
Install Updates Error log

Install Updates could not successfully download and install available updates.
Go to https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/ (https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/) and paste the log below into a new or existing thread for assistance.

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

I shall appreciate if it is corrected online.
Best Regards

You get this message if something went wrong with an earlier update attempt.
To correct this, open a terminal session (click menu -> system-> terminal emulator)
In the resulting terminal window enter the command in the code box below and press return.

Code: [Select]

sudo dpkg --configure -a
You should be asked to enter your password. Type it in and then press return.
Once the dpkg command has run, updating should work again.
