I have posted a bug report for the synaptic problem on F9, but as I've just said, I havn't posted a bug report for synaptic on F10, as I wanted to get some confirmation of the problem first. And for your information, I've been using apt, and synaptic since Fedora Core 1, with no problems. Apt has had no problems on F9, apart from a little glitch (updates I think), but synaptic since F9 has been able to download packages, but not able to install them (MD5 missmatch problems). Synaptic can remove packages with no problem. there just appears to be a problem with installing them, at least for me, and some others that also filed a bug report against synaptic on F9. I'll find the bug report, and post the link. If synaptic is working ok for you on F9, this is a really weird problem that I have on both my F9, and F10 installs. Nigel.

Synaptic still hasn't been fixed on F9. It will download the packages ok, but complains of MD5 sum missmatches, and is unable to install the packages, although subsequently doing an apt-get install for the packages, will install the already downloaded packages. The same problem appears to exist on F10's synaptic, although now there is no warning message about MD5 sum missmatches. Before I file a bug report, could anyone who uses apt, and synaptic confirm that on F10, synaptic is unable to install packages that it has downloaded. Probably not many apt users on the list, but worth a try. Nigel.
