Are you running Synaptic through sudo? Or is it asking you for the
password itself? I never run Synaptic. But I use sudo a lot.
What is the output of sudo -l?
Just to follow-up to my previous email, Bob's suggestion didn't work either.
That stanza was already entered.

Just recently a new sudo entered Wheezy Testing and it changed the
behavior of secure_path. See Bug#639841 for details. But it means
that you need to add this line too:

Hello.
For various reasons, needed to reinstall Debian Testing (Wheezy) on a flash
drive formatted into 2 partitions. A system partition and one for HOME.
Since the install I'm no longer able to use Synaptic with my password (I
enabled sudo in the Installer). I used the exact User name and Pass
24 matches
