My first attempt to install 18.04 on my laptop ended with a working 
operating system but incapable of installing anything or upgrading. 
Nothing I could do rectified the situation. In the end the only solution 
was to download the latest and greatest , wipe the hard drive and 
reinstall. Now everything works as it should.

Sometimes desperate situations require desperate measures. *<]:o)

Fortunately I didn't have any really important stuff on it and what was 
there I could move over to another hard drive [ yes - my laptop has two 
hard drives ] to put back in place once the new install was done.
