Hi, the above steps worked! Many thanks!
I booted to an old kernel in recovery mode then establised a network
connection.
I did the ff in the root console.
dpkg -P python-central
apt-get install python-central
then
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get -f install
apt-get dist-upgrade
--- it contiued
updates..
it proceeded with the installation of the packages but there are still
some dependency errors.
I was able to see the log on screen but when I log in, it just freezes.

solution as it was written to me. I knew that dpkg was choking on
python-central but didn't
I saw a very similar failure:
dpkg: too many errors, stopping
dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:252: process_queue: Assertion `!queuelen' failed.
under similar circumstances (long list of errors).
