Not all packages cold be fetched. I answered "No" to teh query and then quite Synaptic.
Using the heanet repo.
Also, update was being run on my Lenovo notebook. I was updating via wireless. So, it's possible I may have dropped signal.
If you suspect a dropped signal, answer "NO" and then just try to "Apply" again. It will pick up right from where it left off (maybe open a web browser before "Apply", and test that you're connection is good).
I do this at work, because Websense sometimes decides I'm no longer authenticated.
If it's still a problem, then the suggestions about waiting, etc. are all good, also.
