I know, but I always make this mistake. ;-) > I believe this is a known bug in synaptic: #864640 [1]. It is hard to believe that this bug is known since June and that there is neither a fix nor a solution. Deleting the file has worked for me, but I can't say that there are no side effects. How should a newbie solve this? Without a work-around there are no updates possible.
