Hello madmike111,
it asks you to open your terminal, and type in to it this -

Code: [Select]

sudo dpkg --configure -a
Press the enter key and follow the instructions or prompts it gives.

Thank You @Jerry  :)
I copied the command as supplied, but I accept I made a mistake as I still should have checked first, and am grateful for you correcting it.
