update manager leaves lock file
I followed the directions to run some diagnostic commands. I was not able to complete the procedure because it asked me to insert the installation CD which I no longer have. Here are the commands and the output as requested on Launchpad. I don't yet know whether the updater or package manager is now in an operable condition.
