[xubuntu-users] Synaptic problems?

[Benjamin P. August]

Since my French is terrible, it looks like a "failed to fetch" error.
Does the file exist on the mirror? (looks like it to me)
Is the mirror reachable? (looks like it to me)
How are the permissions on /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/ on your
machine? Does that directory exist?

I usually use apt instead of aptitude.
