Video Problem WMV

[Clark]

The plot thickens with Gutsy now refusing to open "add Remove Programs" 
or let me enter "Adept Manager", the error message is:

"The APT Database could not be opened! This may be caused by incorrect 
APT configuration or some similar problem. Try running apt-setup and 
apt-get update in terminal and see if it helps to resolve the problem."

In response to this I went to terminal and entered the above, with the 
result:

cpm at cpm-desktop:~$ sudo apt-setup
[sudo] password for cpm:
sudo: apt-setup: command not found
cpm at cpm-desktop:~$ sudo apt-setup adept manager
sudo: apt-setup: command not found
cpm at cpm-desktop:~$ sudo apt-setup adept
sudo: apt-setup: command not found
cpm at cpm-desktop:~$

Though I was beginning to get some idea about the processes but with 
this I'm quite bewildered, It seems to me that the program that enables 
repairs is off line.  Is it a complete reload?

Suggestions please?
