Did your path statements get b0rked in the .bash_profile ...or worse,
yet, .bash_profile get accidentally deleted?? I upgraded from Breezy and had
some probs --but not the one you state ...although it did involve sudo-- so I
just d/l the Flight3 & went from there.
Perhaps this is an epidemic as others have had issues upgrading from Breezy.
It is *supposed* to be as easy as #apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
...assuming, of course, you replaced 'breezy' with 'dapper' in the
sources.list.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. :-(
FWIW...
