Re: [BLUG] A Little Help?

Thanks Michael - I'll try it and keep you posted.  I think I tried this, but perhaps left something out.

Thanks again - real cool of you to follow up!

Something interrupted a package installation in the past and you need to
run 'dpkg --configure -a' to fix the issue.

Open a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal if you're running
Ubuntu) and type:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

and the interrupted package installation should complete.
