Synaptic Package Manager reports an error and fails to come up.  It just drops 
out without finishing coming up after the error screen.  I suspect because of 
the line, "Setting up turboprint (2.10-1) ...", that something broke in turbo 
print which really does not work well anyway.  I thought I might 
could "apt-get remove turboprint" but that also says I must "manually 
run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." so it seems a catch 22.
