Yup, I chronicled my exploits on the Ubuntu forums.  Had to do some
strange fix.  Search for "broken Synaptic Package Manager" or "broken
samba".

Very, very good.  To get SS back, I updated to 6.5.1 (easy, this went
through before Synaptic broke) and added my NTFS music drive.  It
didn't mount correctly, but some instructions from the Ubuntu
documentation and I got it scanned.

Adding new music is going to be tricky though, I need to install
ntfs-3g.

Yeah, forum support is a must-have with Ubuntu, I find.  Unfortunately
they're not very responsive.  The questions have more or less all been
answered but searching seems to be difficult because of the multi-word
searches, "broken samba", for instance, turns up 99% junk and 1% gold.
