Error installing onto Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop
« on: September 11, 2010, 09:43:57 pm »
Hi

I installed a clean 9.04, upgraded to 9.14 and then to 10.04. I then installed Zentyal 2.0 using the synaptic installer, all went well until I was faced with a sudo: and a command prompt at which point the installation halted. I was unable to enter any passwords and the installation halted. Now if I go to Synaptic I get the message "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report."

The log from the installation can be viewed at http://paste.ubuntu.com/492316/

I tried adding this line at the botton of the /etc/sudoers file:
#includedir /etc/sudoers.d \


But am still getting the error.

Anyone got anything I can try to finish the installation and sort this out?

Thanks

JohnB

Good suggestion Simon, I did however try that before I made the post  :)

Just comes up with the sudo prompt again when trying to complete the installation. Also cannot install any other softyware on the box/get into synaptic etc because the installation has not completed.





Suggestions anyone?

Hi Simon

Did you add the final '\' intentionally? That character is not supposed to be in sudoers file
