Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

Tried to upgrade and install a package and my computer crashed. Tried it again later and it said it had to be manually ran in terminal using the command 'sudo dpkg--configure-a'. This did not work. PLEASE tell me what I'm doing wrong and how can I fix this problem? (Ubuntu 9.10)
