You are actively hostile to people providing help for *the actual problem at hand*. It would cost you nothing to be clear about what you're trying to do, and what fails. I asked effectively a direct question about what you're doing when the problem happens and you've not engaged. It's like you don't actually want to get this solved. But, as I don't actually know anything about synaptic I don't think I have anything useful to add now anyway. All I can say is that I don't think a GUI app is the right tool to be updating these things unless you always do all your package updates in person while sat in front of the machine you're updating.
