Title: dpkg was interrupted
Post by: hamka on December 08, 2022, 04:55:09 AM

Hi, Lighters! I lost my installation password, but finally managed to change it with the help of the excellent Help Manual. There are almost 400 pending updates (ouch) but when I tried to update I got this message.  Please help?
