Bug Description

Binary package hint: synaptic

I'm having a strange problem under Gutsy AMD 64; Synaptic (& Update Manager) will no longer update ("403 forbidden" message). A second PC with Gusty 32bit connected to the internet via the first PC updates with no problems. I've tried changing servers to no avail. Any ideas on how to fix this?

"Could not download all repository indexes

The repository might be no longer 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 the correct writing of the repository address in the preferences.

Bizarrely, if I replace every instance of http:// with ftp:// in /etc/apt/sources.list almost everything works. So the problem is that something is making my update requests to http sites fail with "403 forbidden" whilst ftp is OK. How do I fix this?
