Hi Richard. I nearly fell off my chair reading your reply. It's priceless. You 
post to the Synaptic-devel list, but the devs don't monitor the list.

I've used apt, and synaptic since I first installed Woody, and also on all my 
Fedora installs since Fedora Core 1, and hardly ever a problem, except on 
Fedora 9 where synaptic will remove packages, but will not install them, 
complaining about MD5 sum missmatches. This is a problem not yet resolved.

Synaptic on F9 will download the packages, but fails to install them, 
complaining about MD5 mismatches, but apt-get install will install the 
package/s without any problems. Of course this is using apt-rpm, and not 
Debians apt.

Thanks for your reply, and all the best.

Nigel.
