I just installed Kubuntu 11.10 and started to update packages. All packages downloaded and now it's stuck running dpkg, at 53%, for hours. What can I do now to not break anything? Should I reset my computer?

If, for any reason, package installation fails (Update manager or Synaptic), you can attempt the following option. Open a terminal, type "sudo dpkg --configure -a" and hit enter. Provide your root password. After dpkg has finished, open synaptic, check for updates. If something is wrong, synaptic will tell you.

  • Thanks for your answer, I ran your command and then ran Moun Package Manager, and there were no indication of an error. – Karolinger Dec 25 '11 at 15:06
  • I reset my computer and did what Jean said, it seems that all packages were upgraded correctly because Moun Package Manager informs that no packages need upgrading. I hope there's no other problem because of this. – Karolinger Dec 25 '11 at 15:14
