Here's my result, of sudo apt-get install -f. i have Ran it twice and got negative result. I believe there is an error at

"error in Version string '0:3.6.1-dates for language English
 Translation data updates for all supported packages for:
 English"

This same statement "error in Version string>>>>, caused me three days of attempting to download version 12.04. There is a bug report concerning the quoted text as well. Is there anyway to download the version without the language packs, why would I corrupt version 11.10?

Also, when attempting to download Synaptic using sudo apt-get install synaptic, I get the same error message.

Again I point out the initial download problems and the same error message receipt. Thanks
