[Bug 1096460] [NEW] Failed upgrade to Ubuntu to 12.04.1 - now can't upgrade, install or update any applications

[Peter Evans]

Public bug reported:

Tried updating to 12.04.1.  Suspect the update failed midway and has
corrupted the system.  Was getting offered a partial upgrade to 12.04.1
from the update manager, which kept failing.  It's not only offering
10.10, which also keeps failing.  Also can't update or install any
applications.

I'm not a computer expert, about to throw this laptop out of the door
and go back to Windows, very frustrating.  I have no idea how to submit
logs as per below.  Not all users of Ubuntu are experts with the
terminal I'm afraid.
