As of June 1st, using the following APT LINE in Ubuntu Software Center

Somebody has been cleaning house in general a few weeks ago necessitating the use of:

APT LINE deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main restricted universe multiverse

Sudo apt-get install synaptic yields the same result after changing the APT line.

It last worked on June 1, 2021. Thanks.
