Synaptec connection problem

[Sauli]

I have the same problem of getting the 'Could not connect to
localhost:80 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused)' error
messages. 



Synaptec worked before updating the Ubuntu to Dapper release.





I have checked from the Settings -> Preferences, Network Tab that
Direct connection to Internet is selected instead of using a Proxy.



I have not found suspicous proxy references in any configuration files.
I don't even have the configuration file,  /etc/apt/apt.conf,  that has
been mentioned in thread. 



sauli at Subuntu:/etc/apt$ ls

apt.conf.d   sources.list    sources.list.distUpgrade  trustdb.gpg 
trusted.gpg~

secring.gpg  sources.list.d  sources.list.save         trusted.gpg





I have updated the /etc/apt/sources.list and it is now 



# Automatically generated sources.list

# gpg --export --armor KEY | sudo apt-key add -

What else is needed to find the reason for the problem ?
