Updates will not install. I removed firefox  and it will not reinstall.
I am not very knowledgeable I rely could not do any repair work. the ms
is roughly that old programs will not uninstall and new programs will
not install. ubuntu 16.04.3lts oh yes, my up dates told me that a new OS
system was available and I thought I would install it but I found later
on it was not finished and that it was not a long term system any way
opps I think that is where I stubed my tow. Any way I have a mess. I am
tempted to just reinstall this system. Dan Purdy
