Wound up fixing a different way, but this seems like a good idea. I'll
probably have to use it at some time or another.
Thanks.

Is this something wrong in the /var/ dir, or some config file? Or is
the Quantal server @ Ubuntu having problems?
This seems to be something pretty deep, i.e. out of my scope of "fix
it". What do I do? I've been thinking that it's time to reinstall
with a clean 12.10 anyway due to some other issues, is this just a
good excuse to do so?
Thanks Y'all,

If you didn't knew this:
Ubuntu Live CD/DVD
"Update Failure
If there was an update that made your system non-bootable and they
have fixed it in the repositories, you can use the Live CD to run
apt-get to get the new files to fix your system.
Boot the Ubuntu Live CD.
Press Ctrl-Alt-F1
sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
sudo chroot /mnt
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade"
from:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery
*But, It's a good way fix other things things to*. You can install
packages in to the OS that is NOT BOOTED, the OS on the HDD.
If you lost the network-manager and can't get any network connection,
boot from live DVD install the network-manager from the internet in to
the OS you have on the HDD.
