@Degsy


The last update was cancelled midway..


In terminal run the following..
Code: [Select]
sudo dpkg --configure -a

You'll be prompted for your password... Allow it to run until complete..

Many thanks for your prompt response, in the meantime i actually had run dpkg --configure -a in the terminal and then was able to continue.
all well again, once again thanks for your help.
