dpkg was interrupted, you must MANUALLY *what*...????

[pseelig@mail.uni-mainz.de (Paul Seelig)]

Sometimes i wonder what i''m using a computer for...

Why, oh WHY do i have to do things manually when the computer used for
running programs could easily do such trivial things by itself?

Removing <some package> ...
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly
[root]/var/tmp > apt-get -u --purge remove <some package>
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

Please, could someone please make it possible to enable apt/dpkg
automagically take care of this itself?

                                    Thanks, P. *8^)
