Report against synaptic I guess... and not dpkg. > "dpkg --configure -a" fails. I have attached an strace.

What about copying its (english) output instead of an strace ? Please run "LANG=C dpkg --configure -a" and show us what it says. If it's a package that is unable to configure, it's not a dpkg bug but one of the given package... and if synaptic does not start because one package is not configured, it would be a synaptic bug.
