After mysteriously refusing to update, the synaptic updater just started
working last night. And darned if (with some hiccups) it didn't boot from the

chancing my luck with KDE again.

I had some update issues as well. 404 Not found during apt-get update...I've blamed it on my proxy settings, which may or may not have been a factor.

It does look like there is a bug filed:
