Thanks Jean-Baptiste but I found the error after scratching my head for a while. It was a stupid oversight on my part
Essentially there was an incorrect character in the Deb command for a third party software source. Edited the /etc/apt/sources list and all was well. Took me a while to figure it though. Blame it on being tired - I'd ditched Karmic that day as it was totally unstable on my computer. I'd tried about 15 fresh installs and had a bug every time. Just a different one to the last one I'd solved. Jaunty 9.04 runs beautifully and I'd recommend that anyone failing with Karmic to back-step to Jaunty.
