I was installing Xampp from terminal using sudo apt-get install lamp-server

My computer shut down while lamp-server was still installing.

I ran sudo apt-get install lamp-server again and it returned the following error:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

    We're sorry, but this site is all about Ubuntu and its official derivatives as posted on wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases so BackBox is off-topic here as well. However, on unix.stackexchange.com, a sister site to Ask Ubuntu, they're very good at all varieties of Linux and Unix, so you might be better off there. ;-)
