In answer to the above, and from memory... 

   aptitude
   apt-get upgrade

and 

  dpkg -f update

Or whatever the prompted command is when something has gone wroong
with the apt archives.


Anyway, thanks for the help.  Things were rather urgent, and so the
offending machine was replaced by another, configured from scratch,
and then the root partition on the faulty machine was reinstalled
over.

This explains also why I have been rather slow with my answer and
thanks.
