Thanks for the response, but I'm a bit reluctant to venture into a
complete reinstall.
It doesn't seem as though the problem with update-manager AND
computer-janitor should be difficult.
AND I see from another forum that I'm not the only one experiencing
failure on both of these in 10.10.
Dunno if the other guy had upgraded as well or whether he was on 32 or
64 bit.
When running "computer-janitor clean --all" in terminal, however, I got
the following:
