Facing problem in updating software

[stevef]

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:

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.
