Hi all, 
I have just installed Dapper, looks very nice, but am having problems
with apt-get
Pretty much everything I try to install gives error messages

squareyes at here:~$ sudo apt-get install bluefish

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  bluefish: Depends: libpcre3 (>= 4.5) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
My sources list is the same as when I had Breezy running, but with
Breezy replaced with Dapper

Does anyone have any idea what I may have ruined? 
When I updated the sources with apt-get I had some error messages re 
bzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing.
        Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

Err http://au.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/main Packages
  Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)
Thanks in advance, sorry so long winded.
Take Care
Winton
