From memory, the problem with attyempting system updates, with Synaptic, on the i3 system, is not the first time that this has happened. So, Synaptic appears to be broken, for updating packages.
I don't say synaptics does not have bugs. I only say that it is not responsible for the fact that the file was not on server at the time you tried to fetch it... if you tried apt-get immediately, you aould apparently get the same result (unless you'd be directed to different server, in which case repeated attempt with synaptic would work too) -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
