This question already has an answer here:
E: dpkg was interrupted… run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'
1 answer
I forced exit on Ubuntu upgrade and when I try a new command it gives me this
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a'
If I run that command will upgrade continue? If yes, how do I just do so it won't continue because I don't want to upgrade anything?
I read about removing files from /var/lib/dpkg/updates and that should solve the issue, but I don't want to try things out of the blue on Linux machines because that got me into troubles already.

@DavidFoerster I noticed the difference but it looks like the view from the bow of an icebreaker ship that is sailing through water that has some floating ice. I think the linked question has enough power to sail smoothly through the ice that is seen in front of it without getting stuck in it. There is a difference of opinion about what should or shouldn't be classified as a hair splitting difference.

@karel: I strongly disagree. If you think the linked question addresses this one you missed its point entirely. Although the error message is the same the question and the underlying aim of its author are wildly different. Please read the entire question and don't try to “fix†things that its author clearly doesn’t want fixed.

The short answer to your question is No.
The longer answer is:dpkg --configure -a will likely repair the damage caused by the interruption you forced, so regardless of what you might be thinking you should do that. The upgrade process that you interrupted will not automatically resume or restart. However, repairing the damage as suggested to you by your system greatly increases the chance of success the next time you attempt to update and upgrade your system.
