Thanks for your bugreport.

Please open a terminal and run:
$ sudo apt-get clean
$ sudo apt-get install -f

that should re-install python-apt and openoffice.org-common

Please also run a fsck on your filesytem and a memory test, the above failure can be caused by filesystem or memory courrption.

Ok I ran those 2 terminal commands which gave me back access to update manager/synaptic etc. I did still however get an error message about open office(lost it). Went to synaptic broken dependencies,there was 6 including openoffice. was able to re-installed all except open office. Re-booted and in applications-office there was no openoffice suite so I re installed it and all seems fine.

Thanks
