unable to do system updates

[hefay]

I can not complete system updates or install new modules/components.

here's the message.
The following packages are not properly installed. You need to fix this before trying to use them or install new modules.

I tried the suggested command sudo dpkg --configure -a

and received this response.

Hi,

I've got simillar problem. The firewall package doesn't want to configure properly,

I also have following output on the console:

Code: [Select]

Any activity to the zentyal itself (i.e. /usr/share/zentyal/manage-logs  /usr/share/zentyal/initial-setup firewall 3.0 etc) results in constantly increasing memory consumption and swapping out in the end (my oruter have 8GB of memory so it should handle zentyal without a problem).

Any ideas how this could be fixed ?
