Just in case anyone reads these things (yes, I know, I'm feeling
snarky), I wanted to mention that the last set of updates fixed the
problem for me. They included some files related to update-manager, and
they showed up on August 12, 2008, plus or minus a day.
Nice to finally have that annoyance
I had the same issue loading synaptic although sometimes it worked and
sometimes not.
If I launched from a terminal using: "sudo synaptic" it worked every time.
Adding: 127.0.1.1

You are wonderful! I went into my hosts file, and sure enough there was no

$gksu id does not work for me either. Same thing: "starting
