I did the 'rpm --rebuilddb' and updated apt. Apt is now behaving as it should. Thank you for your help.

If apt-get has finally borked itself like it always does, switch to yum.
If that doesn't work either, try manually installing something with
rpm -Uvh, and if that doesn't work, your RPM database is hosed. You can
then try rpm --rebuilddb, which may or may not fix it, in which case you
must reinstall YDL from scratch.

I am sure this has been covered before, but I am having difficulty 
sorting this one.  I was updating a few packages when an error was 
raised with apt-get.  It suggested that i run the command:

apt-get -f install

Sure enough, it seemed like it corrected the issue, but since then I 
cannot update or install using apt-get.  Can anybody help me with this.

Thanks,

Dylan
