WOW! So much "sudo" stuff.
Are all Linux people supposed to know all that?

From a shell:
sudo touch /forcefsck
Then reboot. -> done
On reboot, do
sudo dpkg --configure -a
-> resulted in this error:
dpkg: error: reading package info file '/var/lib/dpkg/status':
Input/output error
If that works, do: -> even though the above DID NOT work, I tried the
following anyway
sudo apt-get install -f
-> resulted in this error:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg
--configure -a' to correct the problem.
This should report no errors. -> DID cause errors, however.
Then do: -> in spite of the above errors I tried these too, also getting
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
-> resulted in this error:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg
--configure -a' to correct the problem.
sudo apt-get purge
Then
sudo apt-get update -> this DOES run, but the next one again makes trouble
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
-> resulted in this error:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg
--configure -a' to correct the problem.
While this seemed to be a real hint of hope at the horizon ... it
unfortunately did not work out.
* I noticed that there are:
'/var/lib/dpkg/status'
'/var/lib/dpkg/status-old' (which I did not create)
Just thinking ... if it were possible to delete the first and rename the latter again into "status" ... would that maybe help?
However, I could not figure out yet, how to modify or move/delete etc. those files.
