Thanks for your reply, Henrique. I don't really know if that was the 
problem.

I thought I'd try the upgrades again, and noticed that it was slowly 
upgrading - reducing the upgrade queue.

after a couple of repeated attempts running the upgrade it cleared the 
queue and there were no more updates to apply. Hurrah!

But then, since there was a new kernel in the upgrades  I rebooted, to 
find the system wouldn't boot.

Fortunately, I could still read the disk partitions with user data.

I have now just finished installing on a new bigger disk and 
transferring all the user files, mail system, web pages etc, to the new 
disk.
