I'm back. Running 'dpkg --configure -a' allowed me to attempt to reinstall the updates but the PC is hung with a black screen. This is the same thing that happened last night that resulted in the 'dpkg was interrupted" error. Last night, I left it and went to bed. It was still a black screen this morning so I forced a power off reboot, ran 'dpkg --configure -a', then attempted to update. In each case, the black screen is what I see when I wiggle the mouse to clear the screen saver. I can see the mouse cursor on the screen, and the laptop fan is running, but it is unresponsive in every other way. Suggestions please.
