apt-get upgrade problem sorted !!



Ive done it after 2 weeks and I dont know how many hours !!
As far as I understand it ....

apt-get update 
loads files into /var/lib/dpkg/info about the packages and the md5 sums for 
those packages.

I got a corrupted download, the md5 sums were never going to match.

I hashed out debian.security..... in sources.list
apt-get update
I deleted the hashes for debian.security..... in sources.list
apt-get update

forcing a fresh /var/lib/dpkg/info download

then 
apt-get upgrade --fix-missing

worked AOK, even though the line dropped twice 
Yeeeaaaaar!
