Hi all,
I re-installed the packages shown above, I changed the software sources download location to āMain serverā from Germany, I also set it to notify me of any release upgrades. I used Synaptic to do this and despite having a few new package upgrades, the tool still isnāt working?.
Thanks @Dave_Barnes, @pfeiffep, @anon42388993, @ouroumov, @wally333, @Justin for your input but I think I will just flatten the whole lot and completely wipe both root and home partitions as my fresh install using my trusty āSomething Else Methodā didnāt seem to help!.
Seems to me that Ubuntu 16.04 has more bugs than the āInsect Houseā in Londonās Regents Park Zoo!.
EDIT:
I downloaded a fresh copy of the 16.04 ISO and used Startup Disk Creator, I then did a complete fresh install and formatted both root and home and now it is working, the bugs appear to have left the building! (They must be following Elvis?).
Thanks to you all again for your helpful suggestions!.
