Thanks for the input.  I did all in first paragraph, but without any
luck.  Later, as I was looking at all the failed fetches, it dawned on
me that the lomanager was failing to fetch several pkglists.  So, I
went into synaptic and disabled all the repositories.  Ran lomanager
again, and it worked perfectly.  Must be a line in the code somewhere
that fails or stops the operation when it fails to download a pkglist
before the actual install works.  Anyway, after it successfully
installed and I confirmed that it functioned properly, I went back and
enabled the repositories again.  OK...that's not really a fix.  But it
is a workable workaround.

Maybe the code should warn you if you have failed pkglist downloads,
but give you the option to proceed anyway.  Assuming I'm right about
what caused the issue....

Thanks again for the post.
