Hi,
Using Ubuntu 18.04.6.
Was trying to install mariadb which didn't work. So now trying to un-install (sudo apt purge mariadb*). In doing this the machine hung up.
I tried to use the GUI to shut down the machine but instead of shutting down it popped up with the log-in screen. Finally used 'shutdown now'
and re-booted. Now in trying to use 'synaptic' here is what I get:
rick@rick-MS-7C02:~$ sudo synaptic
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to
correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
=============================================================
rick@rick-MS-7C02:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up mariadb-server-10.1 (1:10.1.44-0ubuntu0.18.04.1) ...
==============================================================
Hangs here! re-boot does not clear this problem.
Thanks in advance for help in fixing this.
