Thanks!  "Small steps, small steps" I tell myself!

Two final questions:

1) is there something I might|should have been doing to check that my 
local Ubuntu repository
    was up date?

2) as it seems is isn't/wasn't, is there anything I should do now to 
alert people to that?

Huge thanks to Dirk, yourself and the list for putting up with this.  I 
hope it may be a useful
history to be in the searchable internet resources if others hit similar 
issues.
