No. I did a few things to try to get it to work and might have deleted
it out of /var/cache/apt/archives/
Whatever I did it's not there and I have run apt-get update several
times and apt-get upgrade with and without -f it didn't work.
But I need to reinstall this system anyway. But will probably do it
next Monday when I'm somewhere that has sufficient bandwidth.
Don't know what happened.
Thank you,
Charlie
