I am a newbie. I have had lubuntu for about 6 months with no problems. Recently tried to check out the gnu icecat browser. I added a repo from Trisquel to download the browser...but there appears to have some kind of a problem with Lubuntu now. It would be great if someone could give me step by step instructions for a newbie on how to get my normal lubuntu back again. The "base-files" may be causing some kind of a problem. The "base-files" are being updated from the Trisquel repo.

I had a similar problem, and probably due to the same mistake (adding a PPA to install IceCat). I've solved it by following answer https://askubuntu.com/a/733383/767716 which instructs you to reinstall base_files from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-files
You should look in section Built files, Files resulting from this build, something starting with base-files_ and ending in .deb
After downloading it, again following the instructions, you should run:
sudo dpkg -i /your/path/to/base-files_*.deb
And make a test run with:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall base-files
After that, I needed to change some files, for example, remove and re-add items under /etc/sources-list.d as some of them were pointing to the trisquel/toutatis version.
