Binary package hint: synaptic
this is on Ubuntu 9.10 karmic
synaptic 0.62.7ubuntu6

Tried to reload package data but got following error:
"The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct."
and this one:
