I have tried both solutions suggested and I still get this error. 
synaptic.conf did not even have a DefaultDistro entry, but adding a 
DefaultDistro "oneiric" did not help
Also tried creating /etc/apt/apt.conf with a APT::Default-Release entry, and 
that did not help either.

Where does synaptic/apt read this from???
