synaptic

[Ric Moore]

Is anyone else having problems with synaptic lately? I don't recall
seeing this behavior before where it keeps trying to hit
"Translations-en" and "Translations-en_US" and "Translationsindex"
repeatedly and repeatedly, hangs for a bit then hits on them again. Then
it utterly fails. This is with natty, BTW. Status on each reads "failed"
during the reload process. 

The reload takes forever, then there are no upgrades noted to apply. An
apt-get upgrade loads packages and installs them just fine. This is
making me nutz. I hope I didn't break it. But, if I did, how to fix? Ric
