Synaptic/apt-get problem

[Bart Silverstrim]

I'm trying to install qdvd-author, and Synaptic is just hanging on me as 
if there's a problem accessing the update sites.  I tried doing an 
update from the command line and got:

anyone else having trouble with the updates?  I last installed a program 
(lives) on the 23rd, according to the dpkg logfile, and I noticed the 
issue with trying to install qdvd-author yesterday.
