What I expected is for each package to retrieve up to date package information.

Instead I receive a Failed response in the status column of synaptic, no matter which repository I select when trying to retrieve updates for all packages.

Digging in to it:

Has nearly everything EXCEPT Translation-en_US; was this recently renamed to Translation-en ? I do not recall every setting this anywhere, so this is being automatically generated somehow.
