It has not been a very good week for upgrading my machines. Fortunately 
I still have a working 10.04 on my laptop and have been able to get work 
out. But, my old 10.04 desktop machine won't finish loading X, and I 
managed to bork something related to a lock file on this 12.04 machine 
while trying to reinstall the ttf-mscorefonts-installer. Here's what I 
get when I run that command, now:

rsteff at Gateway-E-4500D:~/Public$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall 
ttf-mscorefonts-installer
[sudo] password for rsteff:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer 
required:
   kde-l10n-engb kde-l10n-zhcn
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

E: Unable to lock directory /var/cache/apt/archives/
rsteff at Gateway-E-4500D:~/Public$

I'll try again after I power down the machine, but probably not until 
tomorrow. I still have some work to get out. And while I do the work on 
my laptop I still need to use this machine for a couple of things. Once 
that project is finished I'll give this another try.
