Hi Thank you for your reply. How do I purge it? Havent done that before. I use bluetooth with my phone camera. Take a lot of pictures with that, and this bluetooth allows more than one picture to be uploaded at one time.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Error on update for bluez
ok, have tried using synaptic to remove bluez, but I get this message. bluez: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 so there is something not right in my synaptic that is causing the problem. What is that error. Its part of the same error message I showed you in the first e-mail. That has something to do with the problem. I have run sudo apt-get update, to update everything, and it still shows that problem.

Hope this helps, Matthew Hi Matt, brilliant, that first manual fix fixed the error in the update manager and also when reinstalling in synaptic, it worked. I have no idea why that happened. I have had that installed since first using Ubuntu. It just suddenly appeared this past update.
