Oh-kay now.

When my problem popped up, I was unable to update, upgrade, or anything
of the sort.  Adept and synaptic both failed to start, and apt-get
commands terminated with errors.  Errors included the phrase The package
lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

I did a search on that phrase, and found several pages.  Almost all of
those that I opened referred to a cache limit.  Rather than adjust the
cache limit, I just edited my /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/30cache with a comment
(#) in front of the single line found there.

Adept is now updating for me.

It seems pretty obvious that my system COULD BE overwhelmed by the
monster cache from hell - but the likelihood of that happening seems
pretty slim.  ;)

If I run into problems, I will come back to report that my unsupported
fix didnt work so well.........
