I'm having this problem with 12.04, which has been running and updating quite happily for several months. I Eventually applied the workaround described in http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/apt- get-install-command-is-not-able-to-fetch-packages-from-ubuntu- repositary-806674/, but this is still only a workaround. Some recent update must have changed something and it feels like bug to me. I don't want to get involved in an argument over semantics, but I have a lot of sympathy with Sam Hiatt's last comment, including the one on CLIs and GUIs.
