Iam thinking of that to be as a last alternative as if i make a clean
installtion i will lose all my settings etc. Is there any other way to
proceed ahead with out losing data :-).

Back up your data. That's all I've got.

I am not sure about your problem but it could be a bug in the update manager...
Keep the question open..

There's a large (188MB, 112 file) update this morning and the Update Manager can't seem to get though libpython2.6. I've been waiting for 30 minutes for it to continue, but it's just stuck there.
But to fully check and upgrade your system using terminal using command line,
open a Terminal from the menu Applications-
**Tip: right click with mouse on the top terminal windows title caption and select the menu item "Always on Top"
doing this you will force the terminal window to stay on top of the other windows and you will find very easy
to copy single row from this web page into the terminal...
Something more about using the terminal https:/
Then type or better copy and paste a row a time then press enter:
(Tip: select the single row to copy from this page then right click and select copy then click into the terminal window
and to quick paste click with middle button of mouse )
Copy and paste the rows below, copy and paste one row a time (see the **Tip) then press enter:
sudo cp -arf /var/lib/dpkg /var/lib/
sudo cp /var/lib/
sudo cp /var/lib/
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir /var/lib/
sudo aptitude clean
sudo aptitude autoclean
sudo apt-get update
sudo dpkg --clear-avail
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo aptitude install -f
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.
Hope this helps
