On a more positive note, Synaptic and Update manager have started working again, without any change on my part, or explanation from the system. On the other hand, if one or both of these programs are not genuine (see above at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/119650/comments/2 ), then I'm not sure that it's such good news that they're working.
