Karmic disaster

Upgraded t Karmic from Jaunty Jacalope the other day. Not a success.

The upgrade process failed leaving my system in some sort of half and half limbo.

First step was to hand install the python packages as this seems to be where the upgrade crashed.

After that all looked good, but in fact the system was still half and half. With all sorts of programs operating oddly. After a repeated cycle of upgrades I am hoping that things are starting to resolve themselves but am not very confident.

Update:

My sound is all f-ed up. and so is Mythtv altho I managed to fix the LIRC using the same steps outlined in my earlier post (I knew there was a reason I was taking notes).
