Whenever I try to use apt to install or upgrade and also when I try to launch Synaptic Package Manager I get an error that says:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
Then when I run the command It stalls always at:
***update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.8.0-58-generic***
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
