Issues running MX updater

#1 Post by Leogets »

I am running MX Linux 19. I am having a problem running the MX Updater. I get the message
Full upgrade
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
Full upgrade complete (or was cancelled).

Not sure what to do.

When you run the QSI utility, click “Copy for Forum” at the bottom and then just paste it here in your thread. That formats it properly for the Forum using code tags. I have formatted it for you in this topic.
