astrostl, thanks for your instructions on dpkg, i'll wait a bit and then i guess do a hard reset if nothing happens... hopefully things won't be in a defunct state upon restart. I'm using maverick 10.10 and not lucid (actually, i wish i had gone with the LTS lucid...), and I think I understand how to apply your directions to that version, but I will just let things be for now and just not do anything intensive when running synaptic. I'm not the most advanced linux user, so I'd rather keep things as simple as possible, so I don't mess anything up. thanks for the help! a
