Thanks for the suggestion. I did this, and when it rebooted, it did disk
checks, but then failed to mount anything, so I rebooted into Linux Mint
(also installed on this PC) and did a disk check of Ubuntu from gparted,
which did not find any errors.
The good news is that when I rebooted again and booted into Ubuntu, it
booted okay, and it offered the libgmp10 file in the Update Manager, so
I installed it that way. I also did a sudo apt-get autoremove in a CLI
and that worked too, so no more problems with dpkg it seems.

I am having a problem with updating any software on my Ubuntu Studio 12.04
There are various updates listed, but when trying to install them I get an
error:
installArchives() failed: (Reading database ... dpkg: unrecoverable fatal
error, aborting:

/var/cache/apt/archives/libgmp10_2%3a5.0.2+dfsg-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb
That file is corrupted. It is just the downloaded deb file so you can
safely delete it and it will be re-downloaded.
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/libgmp10_2%3a5.0.2+dfsg-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb
It might also be worth while forcing a disk check.
sudo touch /forcefsck
and re-boot.
