Hello Luke, Thanks for your suggestions. I ended up removing all sugar packages for now so that I could run updates and install other packages again. Those conflicting files left dpkg & apt-get in a bad state. Let me know when it's safe to test 10.04 with the ppa again and I'll be happy to try it out. I suspect 10.04 LTS support is something that others need as well.
