Following the above any attempt to update showed a message to the effect of "unable to get exclusive lock" and that perhaps another update package was in use. An instruction followed to use the shell window with a command which I cannot remember - it was a single word with the suffix " -a". If I come across it again I will let you know, sorry to be unhelpful.
The use of this command offered the option of accepting a listing (or somesuch) provided by the package creator which, when accepted cleared the problem - apt-get update shows a list of some 43 packages - apt-get upgrade downloads nothing, so I assume that all is OK. Peter -- After new install, 151 packages update, install reports: Error committing changes, Possibly a problem DL some packages or commit would break packages. Re-installed three times, problem continues..
