I am trying to download packages (for proxychains specifically) and I keep getting dialogue that tells me that dpkg was interrupted, but every time I enter 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' it results in the error shown below:
lily-hammer@lilyhammer-H97N:~$ systemctl status nginx.service

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
