Connectivity gone after libnl upgrade

[Correctrix]

Hi.

I'm running Zorin, an Ubuntu spin-off. Last night, I did "sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade ; sudo shutdown -h now" and let the computer power off. This morning, it has no internet. The system-tray icon that lets me fiddle with my ethernet or wifi connection is absent.

I've run "cat /var/log/dpkg.log | grep 'install\ \|upgrade' " and so I can see that the last packages installed or upgraded last night are as follows:

2016-01-30 01:34:57 upgrade libnl-route-3-200:amd64 3.2.21-1 3.2.21-1ubuntu1
2016-01-30 01:34:58 upgrade libnl-genl-3-200:amd64 3.2.21-1 3.2.21-1ubuntu1
2016-01-30 01:34:59 upgrade libnl-3-200:amd64 3.2.21-1 3.2.21-1ubuntu1

These libraries seem to be network-related, which confirms that they are likely to be the problem.

How have they broken my internet access and how can I repair it?

Thanks.

It's a pity this got moved out of Networking into Other OS, when it's a networking issue caused by Ubuntu updates, and not packages from anywhere else. Anyway, I've marked it as SOLVED.

Well no, the thread (which to be honest is pretty superfluous, given a cursory search of the forums would have given you the above linked thread) is in the correct place.

Also for information, if you do not know what you are doing it may be best to turn off the proposed repository.
