apt won't work

This is a discussion about apt won't work in the Linux Software category; I'm getting the severe problems with apt. Downloads from the repository ok, but then I get an error. the message is: 'No priority (or zero) specified for pin' So what's that? How do I give it a value.

So what's that? How do I give it a value... What value???
 
That's with apt and synaptic, so it's obviously a problem with apt... probably with the enviormental vairable.
 
Has anyone run into this before?
 
Is there a fix?
