I checked, and none of the urls exist, nor do the local directories.
I can find what the correct links should be, but how do I tell apt
what the correct links are?

If synaptic has no way of setting package repositories (I use Kpackage
which does), you'll need to edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list and put
in the correct URLs. Make sure you follow the format of the existing
entries, or read man sources.list for a description of how they work.

The local file paths are incorrect as well... does that mean fixing
the URLs won't help until I fix those as well?

[...]

I'm pretty sure that if all is working, the files in /var/lib/apt/lists/ will
take care of themselves - they get overwritten on each update.

That said, it can't hurt to delete any files in /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ in
case they are blocking the update somehow - I remember having that problem
once.
