How do I continue configuration if apt-get was interrupted?

In case there were some problems during the last apt-get operation, is there a command that checks if something has to be continued in apt-get?

apt

    Use the command: 

    sudo apt-get -f install

    If that doesn't work, you can direct dpkg to finish setting up any packages that were only partially set up:

    sudo dpkg --configure -a

    If it doesn't work than you can reconfigure all the packages with:

    sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a

  2. In addition to the response by @Frantique, I would like to add:

    sudo dpkg --configure -a

    That solved my issue when the upgrade was interrupted during the process.

  3. I had the same issue and in my case a Deb package was corrupted. I had to

    1. delete the cached packages from /var/cache/apt/archives with

      sudo apt-get clean

    2. before running

      sudo apt-get -f install
