DPKG Was Interrupted, You Must Manually Run dpkg –configure -a to correct the problem

Now I share Ubuntu server upgrade command error like dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run dpkg –configure -a to correct the problem. So I remove this error using below method.

When run apt upgrade so I see below error.

$ apt upgrade

Error :

dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run ‘dpkg –configure -a’ to correct the problem

So I run dpkg –configure -a this command then again see below error.

$ dpkg –configure -a

Error:

dpkg: error: parsing file ‘/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0004’ near line 0
newline in field name ‘#padding’

Solution :

rm /var/lib/dpkg/updates/000*
apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
dpkg --configure -a
apt upgrade -y

Now install another package using apt command.
