Thanks for your help.

When I opened up terminal and did as you suggested, It did not ask for
my password, but stated that " dpkg: requested operation requires
superuser privilege". 

Other than not being able to update any more and the odd hiccup, my
system seems to run fine.

I'm thinking that I will just reinstall from scratch, (I am more
hardware savvy than I am with software, so I might just swap out the
drive).

 Do you suggest that I try the 8.04 beta or stick with 7.10 and upgrade
when the final version of 8 is released?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
