I can't access the repository menu in synaptic. when i click it, It just brings up the reload warning w/o opening the repository menu.

selecting repositories in synaptic is supposed to bring up a menu. now it doesn't.

Have you recently edited your repos list?

We don't really know why. If it bothers you so much, switch distros ;)

Strange. Backup sources.list (i.e. make a copy of it, edit the sources.list and clear it out), run Synaptic and see if it allows you to add repositories.
