I just ran across a problem with synaptic. When I start this program, I get a dialog box saying:

    The value 'jessie-backports' is invalid for APT::Default-Release
    as such a release is not available in the sources

Synaptic then exits with no opportunity to make any changes.
I have tried to find where this setting is to fix it, but have had no luck. I have purged and re-installed synaptic with no luck.
I am running a fully updated jessie (8.7) system.
Anyone have any ideas how to repair this??
I ran apt-get update (which noted a hash sum mismatch on jessie-backports repositories) and apt-get upgrade. I then tried synaptic again, and it seems the problem has cleared itself. Very strange.
