Following Andrei's advice, I used dpkg --audit to sort out problems with network connections, which it did very successfully.
In the process, I discovered that there was quite a list of unconfigured packages. These I have been trying to configure. In the process I have unleashed a dependency hell, not only worse than I have ever seen, but worse than I ever imagined. Is there a trick? Other than trying one after another going backwards, and hoping that I will not either go round and round in circles, or meet a demand for a version that I can see no hope of installing. Here is the list as it currently stands. Help! http://paste.ubuntu.com/6431514/ In fact, is this sensibly soluble, or should I give up on upgrading and reinstall? Thanks!
