    Gutsy unable to find packages/download upgrades

    Hi. Haven't touched the linux laptop in about six months. Can't get any of the update packages to fetch/install, and I can't convince it to do a partial upgrade as it tells me to. Also, none of the other packages I want to install seem to be there.

    Alright! How do I fix this?

    Yes, that wasn't the problem. I fiddled with the Synaptic settings and it refreshed itself.

    Thanks for the tip though!
