Once again thanks for all your advice and assistance but still no joy with this problem. Below are the details of the last efforts from your advice.
=============================================
joe@joe-desktop:~$ dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq ubuntu-tweak
dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
joe@joe-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq ubuntu-tweak
dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled:
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.

I think that enough is enough so now I'm thinking of removing Jaunty 9.04 and then doing a fresh install of Karmic Kaola 9.10.
I look forward to your comments and any further advice on the subject.
Meanwhile may I thank you all for your help and advice.
