package man-db 2.5.7-2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Dick Dunbar]

Binary package hint: man-db

Newbie here ... I don't know what happened.

I tried to install some dev software, and the first update blocked at 50%.

No console output available ... so I shut down software installer.

Suggested I "clean up" broken installs ... but not how to do that.

Poking around, I could run a "partial update" ... so tried that.

Tried to add the lucid dvd to the software source, it failed telling me to "apt-cdrom".
Don't know what that is either.

I'll get acquainted with this distro eventually.
