Other than the link above I have not seen your specific problem.

Can you boot?

If so I might try running the standard updates. You may want to check if some line in /etc/apt/sources.list is in error.

#if not chroot use: sudo -i
#houseclean
apt-get autoclean # only removes files that cannot be downloaded anymore (obsolete)
apt-get clean
#refresh
apt-get update #resync package index
apt-get upgrade #newest versions of all packages, update must be run first
#would upgrade you to the latest kernel in the repositories
#dist-upgrade is also able to remove existing packages if required
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get -f install
dpkg --configure -a

Also have you tried changing tothe best download source?

System, Administration, Synaptic, settings, Repositories, download from combo box, other, Select best server.
