Another question...this happens quite often on my system.
I would be able to resolve it somehow- essentially i can see that its related to my repository list not being correct- why does it change??

sudo dpkg --configure -a
chose to keep the original config -"N"

Re: update errors..grrrrr
found the problem!!, system was sitting behind a web filtering gateway server- connected LAn connection direct to router- bingo!!- dont have time to sortout port issues with web filtering software (DANSGUARDIAN) easier just to plug straight to modem/router.

Thanks.
