By myriad selections I mean that if I open "Software and updates,"
there are 5 options to select under Ubuntu Software," 31 under
"Other Software" and another 4 under "Updates," totalling 41. <br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>

My system is now doing partial upgrades, apparently there is
already a problem somewhere with packages. <br>

<pre>Running on Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit desktop, I have Googled around quite a
bit but cannot resolve this issue: there is a myriad of different
selections under different tabs in the Software and Update Centre.
I have no idea which of these options must be selected and which not.
Can somebody please enlighten me on this one?
Many thanks,
Jan
