Bug description:
  Ok first tried to use Synaptic but when I clicke the "repositories"
  selection in the menu it wouldn't open. No matter what -- I tried to
  close and reopen Synapatic to no avail. Next I tried to open the
  Ubuntu Software Center and it crashed each time. Plan to try a reboot
  soon.
