OK, this is good. I'm moving forward and up2date is now reinstalled
(3.0.7.2-1) but when I do an apt-get update at this point I'm getting an
error message:

Maybe I've got a very out of date sources.list file or something? This
machine has been sitting all summer. He finished school, we moved, and
I'm just now bringing it back up.
