What do I do now. This is gibberish to me, as I am programing challenged to the nth power!

Thanks for any help you  can offer. Haven't been able to update my OS in months.

Are you on 3.0 beta release?

Does this answer your question re: what version 'm using?

Siorry, I am really lost on this. This computer was a free hand me down, and prior owner removed Windows and installed LL. I am not nearly as knowledgable .

Try the Package Repair feature in Lite Tweaks and or select a different mirror for updates. If you need guidance with this, please see the Help Manual. You can learn all about LL in there

Lite tweaks,  package system repair.  Other solutions, but I always found this to work.  It may take a few minutes.

Thanks for the Lite Tweaks tip. Fixed the problem right away!
