As a rider to this commenting the kundor url in GetAvailable.conf did 
enable Freshen to continue so it is definitely checking both urls even 
if the first is OK!

Either the parameter is  wrong or this  bit doesnt work! Should it maybe 
be fetchALLPackageLists=first  ???

PS The compile of GTK+ has failed again, but this time because the 
virtual environment got a disk full error! I installed Gobo on a virtual 
5GB disk which was partitioned as 4.5GB root and .5GB swap! Not your 
problem of course, but what would be a reasonable partition size for 
Gobo to leave sufficient space for compiling a large application?

To increase the virtual disk will mean that I shall have to reinstall 
and start again, but hopefully I will then have a cleaner system and a 
lot more knowledge about how to manage it!

Actually I have been able to boot back into the partition and a check 
shows hda1 is 3GB leaving 1.5GB free so maybe I have hit a problem with 
VirtualBox! oh hum...
