I am trying to install the Samba package using Putty -> sudo xbian-config.

After I select Install, it comes back with error log message:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run ‘sudo dpkg – co’ (rest of message runs off the screen).

I have also tried to install using Programs -> XBian-Config -> Packages. Again it shows the Samba package, but hangs while showing “Installing ….”.

Same problem occurs when trying to install other packages.

Suggestions?

Is there a better alternative to Samba for sharing the HD with a Windows system?

Thanks!

Platform: Raspberry Pi 256M Ver: B
Xbian Ver: 1.0a5
XBMC Ver: 12.0 Git: 20130127-fb595f2 (compiled Jan 30 2013)
System -> System Info -> Network shows Internet Connection
Direct USB Connections: Ext USB HD with separate power supply.
Power Supply: Kodak 5VDC 1A (Have tried a couple different 5VDC 1A pwr supplies).

Try:

When I tried: 'sudo apt-get install xbian-package-samba' it gave the rest of the error message which said to run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'.

I ran that & it updated a number of packages.

After the updates Samba installed as expected.

Thanks for the fast help!
