I can't! The text in the download window is non-selectable and non-
copyable, and the window is disappearing too quickly to be able to do a
screenshot.

Have you tried opening the download window yourself?

You should see lines beginning 
http://us.ubuntu.whatever.com/kjaubuntu/precisiple/ main/quidkd
with some of the slashes ripped out that would otherwise make it a valid URI. 
It looks like Ubuntu package location syntax or whatever the strange spaced-out 
syntax for package locations is called.

** Description changed:

  While downloading updates in synaptic, click the option in the download
  window to show the full details of each package being downloaded. The
  window shows a table of details. The last column is called "URI", but
  this is wrong as it seems to be showing something more like Ubuntu
  package location syntax, instead of properly formed URIs.
  
  Either the URI column should be showing URIs, or the column label should
  be changed to something else. Showing URIs would almost certainly be
  more useful. If somebody decides to look into this, the text in that
  table also really needs to be made selectable and copyable.
  
- Affects synaptic versions from 0.75.9ubuntu1 to 0.80.1 at least.
+ Affects synaptic versions from 0.75.9ubuntu1 to 0.80.2 at least.
