Hi Peter,
ERROR: get_iplayer was installed using the 'apt' package manager.
Please refer to the package manager documentation.
Perhaps you only removed the get-iplayer package, failing to purge it,
and thus its configuration file remains and that's telling the new
get_iplayer that it was installed using `apt'. Try installing the
get-iplayer package again and then
sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove get-iplayer
to remove it and purge the configuration files.
Cheers, Ralph.

Done the reinstall, then the purge,
and then sudo apt-get update to get the system working properly again.
Now this is what I get:

first time it tells me it is there, and repeat says not found. Hmm.
