Michael, too late! But there was nothing wrong with /var/log/dpkg.log as far as I could tell. I could edit it, for example. I think the issue is something to do with the machine being virtual. I have outstanding queries with the providers. And this upgrade was attemtped on the RC - I will try again with the proper release of Karmic. And I think I'll try and mark this "bug" resolved ot cancelled or whatever, if I have the perms for that. Paul
