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??? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/842179 Title: Short after upgrade, Synaptic failed to open but apt-get still works To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/842179/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
