No comments for a while an I need to get the system running properly so
that I can do a memory upgrade.
Issuing "apt-get update; apt-get -f dist-upgrade' commands eventually
gets to a point where the upgrade can't continue due to the failure of
the 'updmap' command.

Having restored from backup, I restarted the upgrade from LTS 10.04. A bin
problematic but I eventually arrived at LTS 12.04.5 and created backups of this
version for recovery.
I then started the update from LTS 12.04.5 to LTS 14.04.
The first command used was 'sudo do-release-upgrade' but this

It'd be helpful if you were to provide the file /var/log/dist-upgrade
/apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz from the system, this way we can try and

I am finally back at square one: 10.04 LTS. I have attached the output of
'apt-show-versions' just in case something in this is important in this two
phase update.
The only non-default environment setting is the locale: LANG=C.
I will start by doing the upgrade to 12.04 LTS and them make backups
