I looked at this further, this was on a Computer that used Wubi. 
Wubi.exe it appears came from the USA. So it used a server in the USA. 
Wubi to get into it, you need to uninstall any previous install, and 
re-download the install data. So as I was doing this the first time, one 
of the Kernels came up BAD. BROKEN. When doing the Upgrade. Then on 
another machine, on an upgrade, the Kernels loaded OK, but Synaptic had 
a problem, and Update Manager had a problem. So I got rid of Wubi and 
started again. This time the whole basic install was OK. Then I went 
into Software Sources, and changed from the Main USA SERVER to the 
Canadian Server, before adding programs to the Basic install in Synaptic 
and The Software Centre. This time everything loaded OK, No Errors or 
broken Packages.

So it appears that there might be noises in the signal from the USA. If 
it gets bounced of a Satellite, there can be Echo, and maybe the Echo 
Suppressors don't work that good, from the USA. I used UWaterloo, and 
every downloaded OK this time. This noise online might be the cause of 
many software related problems, because of Drop outs. Using the choose 
best Server Option might get you the fastest Server, but then the 
keyboard Layout would be the default one for that far away country, so 
some of these options may be causing problems with software in it's 
delivery to you! You cant here the noise when the signal is 317K/s but 
the Wifi does hear the noise and it results in Broken Software.
