It took a while and I ended up with having to manually identify and delete a bout 40 duplicate packages (your suggestions would probably have helped with that). It was also necessary to reinstall the kernel packages but everything seems to be humming along fine now (and up to date as well). Thanks to all who provides feedback and suggestions.
