    <p>Thanks Ted</p>
    <p>It seems that the i386 packages are a big problem (or were when
      they were still installed). Ted, do you not have any *i386
      packages? I can't remember if I mentioned that I tried to install
      Wine to see what would happen and I got the same error re:
      libtiff5:i386 circular dependencies as well as libdeflate0:i386.
      Had to fumble through pkg mgr. to try and fix broken dependencies
      as well as running: apt --fix-missing install. After several
      efforts I got down to one broken package, libtiff5:i386, and  ran
      apt --fix-missing install and as you saw very many *i386 pkgs
      became "obsolete". Don't know why running the command again made
      so many non-i386 pkgs 'obsolete'.</p>
    <p>I can back up 'Home', write all of my saved passwords in Chromium
      to a spread sheet and save those too, to a drive. I'm not going to
      shutdown or restart until I can get everything backed up that's
      important. I might back up /usr too to keep record of what apps
      are installed.</p>
    <p>It's hard to imagine what I may lose by doing a fresh install and
      adding back data I've backed up. I guess there's no less painful
      way?</p>
    <p>Much appreciated<br>
    </p>

          20.04 repository on my machine of that date. 'libroc0.3' is in
          "noble" - Ubuntu 24.04, due out very soon, but the backport
          may be an issue. There is a libtiff5 in focal, but his may not
          be from there. I had a look at the update settings and Brian

            <p>This is a true saga and if no one wants to read the
