Hi, sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you on this.
Unfortunately, he removed more than one line. This can lead to loss
of information about what version the machien is running and failure
to solve the problem of the machien being stuck in the middle of an
update. Fortunately, in this case, only the former occured.
Unfortunately, he also left blank lines at the end of the file, which
will also leave the machine unable to update.
Summary, someone needs to go delete the 3 blank lines (and only the 3
blank lines) from the end of /etc/athena/version on this machine.
Jonathon
