Thanks for all of your quick replies and answers to this possible
bug.I think that it's fixed.(All packages respond properly,and
Apt-Daemon installs them with no problems now.) At a
Ubuntu-workshop,we went into Grub,then to edit,by entering 'e'.Did a
recovery/reinstall.All problems seem to have been repaired within
system.(Problem was likely caused by my own inexperience-saw a
Terminal-script for disabling Root-User.Seemed simple enough: bad
frigging idea,of course.Could not re-enable Root-User! Grub seems to
have fixed all else;however it left comment: 'no longer required
fakeroot dkms patch' use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove these

So,that's where I'm at.Will have to look that up.Still too
clueless,where Terminal is concerned-don't trust myself there
yet.Thanks-Again; John.
