E: Problem parsing dependency Depends
E: Error occurred while processing libedataserverui1.2-8 (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_karmic_main_binary-i386_Packages
3) The update manager to launch so that I might get the most up-to-date software available.

We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but it would make more sense to raise problems you are having in the support tracker at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu if you are uncertain if they are bugs. For help on reporting bugs, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#When%20not%20to%20file%20a%20bug.

ChristianUbuntu isn't supported here. It isn't a Canonical release. Other releases also not supoprted here include (but are not limited to):
MoonOS
Mint
MoonOS
Ultimate
gNewSense
CrunchBang
Backtrack

These have their own forums and own support. Not here

Sorry

Then ignore the fact I'm using ChristianUbuntu. This is a problem with the update-manager. As far as I can tell about CU, it's just a branded re-release with a different default load upon install. Nothing more, nothing less. The core is absolutely the same.
