What happens if you boot the computer and run


sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

?

Hi Morges,
Thank you for replying.
I tried to do what u said but the last command stops while executing 50% of updates, this happened many times. :confused:
So I just went ahead and reformatted the system.:)
Thanks,
Vignesh.

It's not a bad solution. One can easily mess with a system to a degree where a reinstall is the best option.

After doing it a few times you will be able to reinstall in less than half an hour.
