when dpkg interrupted, user face a dialog asking to run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

Binary package hint: synaptic

Hi,
When some synaptic process is interrupted (eg. sudden power down), the next time the regular updates window may pop :
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

Most user don't understand what to do in this case, as many help requests and bugreport shows. Even those users advanced enough to launch a terminal window and copy the command may not guess to prefix the command with "sudo".

The dialog should be slightly changed to add the ability to actually run the above-mentioned commands.

This slight change may shift the "apparently broken"/non-updatable computer back to normal usage, for regular users.

Thanks
