Looks like I got lucky with this.  A few days ago another kernel 
update came along and the whole thing fixed itself and (wonder of 
wonders) the Nvidia drivers started to work on my desktop for the 
first time in twelve months.  I can use Google Earth at last !

However, looking through /var/lib/apt/lists I see that part way down 
there is a strange anomaly which says "lock partial".  Does anyone 
know if this is supposed to be here ?  If not how do I get rid of 
it ?  Contents of /var/lib/apt/lists below....
