Bugger. I forgot to backup the lite-updates file first. Mind you, it was a brand new fresh install on a different laptop. If necessary i can rebuild it, run the update the normal way to check its behaviour. And also do it your way - per instructions next time
The other machine i was working on has already gone to a new home.
I wasn't completely sure what to do, so this is what i did:
created a plain file and pasted in your code
named 'update.sh'
set permissions to allow it to execute
ran 'sudo ./update.sh
Whereupon i was prompted to continue or cancel. I continued and the 'Downloading package(s)' dialogue stayed visible, then 'Installing and configuring package(s)'... and i'm going to bed.
