Is there a Repair/Refresh Install

[mezzmer]

You could try

updates the list of packages and versions -

Code:

sudo apt-get update

and then, installs the newer version of the packages as found in the first command.

Code:

sudo apt-get upgrade

Thanks... did both of those.  At some point I got asked to do dpkg --configure -a .... Not sure exactly what this does, but it seems to d a lot of installing.

Other than these I am not sure what else to try.
