Basically followed mox69 directions to correct problem. From the command line, first issued the command 'sudo apt-get install dpkg --reinstall -y' followed by 'sudo aptitude full-upgrade'

YMMV -- Upgrade from Karmic to Lucid failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572212 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
