The resolution to this problem turned out to be simple. This Debian distro makes two boot choices: Normal and Recovery. The Recovery choice appears below the Normal (Default) choice. The Recovery choice booted up fine and after a I booted the Normal copy again, it ran fine. It appears that the Recovery process worked as designed. Thanks for all the Support that you folks provided. It was a good learning lesson for me.
I am running Debian Wheezy and I frequently run
sudo apt-get update
followed by
sudo apt-get upgrade
When I ran the upgrade it restarted a package and recommended a full system restart.
When I did that it hung on the way up. I believe it got past the password point.
The Debian boot always offers a recovery option on boot, I tried it.
The command line asked for a root password and came to a stop displaying
root@debian:~# prompt.
The help command works here.
My question:
How can I remove that upgrade that I applied?
