  I Have just upgraded to Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS from Karmic 9.10 Stable
  The upgrade did not clean up or restart as the upgrade process
  normally does.Now when i try to update from the Update manager..it
  prompts for a "Partial Upgrade" which fails and give the error code E:
  dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to
  correct the problem. After opening a Terminal & typing sudo dpkg
  --configure -a
