[ubuntu-uk] dpkg error on libgmp10

[David King]

Thanks for the suggestion. I did this, and when it rebooted, it did disk 
checks, but then failed to mount anything, so I rebooted into Linux Mint 
(also installed on this PC) and did a disk check of Ubuntu from gparted, 
which did not find any errors.

The good news is that when I rebooted again and booted into Ubuntu, it 
booted okay, and it offered the libgmp10 file in the Update Manager, so 
I installed it that way. I also did a sudo apt-get autoremove in a CLI 
and that worked too, so no more problems with dpkg it seems.
