[tlug] Failing Update

[CL <az.4tlug@example.com>]

Maybe a Newbie-grade Situation and Question

OS is Kubuntu 7.10

1.  adept-updater says that updates are available so I log in
2.  adept tells me that three packages are available for updating
3.  I tell it to go ahead and make the updates
4.  the update fails
5.  when the machine is rebooted video has been reset to 640x480x16 from 
1280x1024x32

I have tried running the updater a couple of times in automatic mode 
with the same result.

I got out the APT HOW-TO and followed the instructions for manual 
installation of updates from the console.

Part of the verbose output from an instruction of "apt-get -u upgrade" 
is as follows:

I ran "apt-get update" before and "apt-get autoclean" after so I do not 
think there are any leftovers to make trouble.

As far as I can tell, the respository is in the update path.

I can't find any other reason for the "403 Forbidden" result.

I have no idea why all of this keeps affecting my video settings (which 
is a Mitsubishi RDT1712V flat panel on an Intel 865 on-board video chip).
