 Why do we even tell the user "you must run <this command>"?

Why not just offer to run it for them, possibly after prompting:
  "dpkg was interrupted; run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem?
[Y/n]"
or some such.

The same could be done for the "autoremove".  Rather that telling the use
what command to run, we could offer to run it for them.

apt-get tells me to run "dpkg", but the correct command is "sudo dpkg"
