If somehow you have broken the APT package handling utility and you get this error:

ed@niobe:~$ sudo apt-get install xchat
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

Then when you run  ‘dpkg –configure -a’ you get this error:

ed@niobe:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Processing triggers for libc6 ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed.
Aborted

This is how I fixed it.

I went to the Synaptic package manager -> Settings -> Preferences -> File -> Delete cached packaged files

Then Edit -> Fix Broken packages

Hope this helps someone ^_^

Ubuntu 8.10 beta is out, if you can wait for the final release then download the 8.10 beta now!

I’ll be updating mine. If you already have Ubuntu installed and you want to upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04, press Alt+F2 and type in “update-manager -d”. Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release ‘8.10′ is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.
