    Synaptic wants a CD‽

    ==Background==
    The other day I dropped my laptop and the battery fell out. When I tried to reboot I got an error message immediately after Grub that I couldn't fix. So I decided to reinstall.

    I didn't have an Ubuntu CD so I installed ElementaryOS and then upgraded to Ubuntu Natty. I uninstalled all of the Elementary programs I could identify and installed ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-standard, which got me to roughly what a clean install is like (as far as I can tell).

    ==Problem==
    Anyway, now I can't add any repositories in Synaptic. When I try I get the error message "Please insert a disc in the drive:".

    Any idea how I can solve this?


    Solution:
    I removed Synaptic and reinstalled it and the problem was solved:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get purge synaptic && sudo apt-get autoremove --purge
    sudo apt-get install synaptic
