you need to remove all programs that weren't part of the original distribution before you can upgrade. you can add them back after you upgrade.

didn't you post this question less than 6 hours ago and i answered?

I am new to Ubuntu and to this service, so I apologize for asking the question twice. Meanwhile, I figured out a solution on my own-- un-installing a certain application that appeared to be the culprit. Thank you for your help.
