Great! Now follow Leonard's advise to clean up your system - from the
terminal (I've added a few extras):

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.intrepid.backup
sudo update-grub

and hopefully you'll be OK now. If the 'sudo update-grub' messes up
anything, then you'll have a backup 'menu.intrepid.backup' that can be
moved back to menu.lst.
