Clean install of Ubuntu has Synaptic running again, I will watch like a hawk as I reinstall apps to see if/where the problem reoccurs. Thank you for your help: I sympathise with you, it is hard to fly like an eagle when you are surrounded by turkeys (and I guess I'm one of them.) Kind regards, Br

sudo apt-get did get the updates, and apparently removed the Brother drivers, but no change in the behaviour of Synaptic. The root/.synaptic directory it is trying to find IS where it belongs, as you said it should be: the app is looking in the wrong place. -- Synaptic crashes. https://bugs.la

You can still run sudo apt-get update to update your lists and sudo apt-get upgrade to update your software, correct? On searching I found this package: dcp135clpr Which is a "transitional" package actually installing this package: brother-lpr-drivers-extra Can you try sudo apt-get remove brother

I am not making myself very clear, sorry. Yesterday I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 Beta - had all sorts of issues (my usual experience with upgrading the OS). So I did a clean install of 8.04 Beta off a live CD. Synaptic, Update Manager, and Add/Remove Applications worked fine until shortly after

I can't say, because I can't get into Synaptic to check! I did install the Brother drivers via GDebi, but that didn't get the printer going, I did a compete uninstallation of these via Synaptic, then used the packages available in Synaptic for the DCP135C. I do not even know if it was caused by
