Title:
  [Feature Request] Automatic dpkg --configure -a

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1) If /var/lib/dpkg/lock or /var/lib/apt/lists/lock is detected, ask if it is OK to remove these files before running apt-get.
  2) If package installation was disrupted (example: power was lost / system crash), it should automatically run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a instead of prompting to run it manually.
