Hi Yuriy,
             I've tried everything I can find on the subject and still  
nothing :(


james at K-Asus:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
dpkg: status database area is locked by another process

This was the result!

You say the patch has been applied but...I didn't apply it.  Do I take it  
that the patch is already included in the distribution I have installed?   
Also, could this locked database have anything to do with a failed attempt  
to install SuSE Linux?  I just installed Kubuntu over the top and it  
reformatted the partitions anyway?  SUSE did not make half as good a job  
of setting up my system that Kubuntu did, hence my return to it! :)

If you have any further suggestins I would appreciate it.  Should I re  
install?

James
