package libalut0 1.1.0-2 failed to install/upgrade: package libalut0 is already installed and configured

[Stephen Eagle]

Not sure exactly what triggered the bug report. Was checking the system with the included system testing program and it locked on Drive test. Noted that C: root drive showed one bad (iffy) sector earlier in testing, but suspect that is the Linux resident files as I installed using Wubi on F: drive an external USB Western Digital drive and Dual Booting from Winders Vista Premium. My in case C drive has checked consecutively Good for the past two weeks inside Vista with various programs including the Western Digital Utilities supplied with the hard drive. Running Linux Ubuntu on F drive 9.10. Will upgrade in a few minutes to the newer kernal and see what shows up. Yesturday, after upgrading the system went to pot shortly after restarting Linux with this set up.
Running Asus M2N68-AM plus Mobo, AMD dual core 2.1gig CPU and 2 gigs Ram 667mhz. C drive is 320gig WD F drive is a 80 gig WD USB external. I am noting sporadic system freezes. Thank You
