This was all in a LiveCD session; evidently the LiveCD uses itself as a source, or at least lists itself. Using the same CD in the same computer, I've now got Add/Remove & Synaptic working, at least for this session. This might have been one of those "computers being stupid" things - I'm going to

Starting both synaptic & gnome-app-install from terminal show no errors, but they both hang right after starting. Trying apt-get first gets a complaint about dpgk lock, which is resolved with "sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock" - but running apt-get or aptitude a second time results in either hanging at

Well you need to retitle your bug and leave out the LIVECD part, it is very confusing. The expected behavior for synaptic is to not run if dpkg has a lock, if for some reason dpkg dies un-expectedly its lockfile will remain, preventing subsequent attempts to use apt, aptitude, dpkg, synaptic, ad

I get these same error messages if I try to open Synaptics while Update Manager is running . After it has finished, Synaptics can be used and these error messages disappear. I believe this one is normal. In my computer Update Manager doesn't show up its icon in the system tray till it's half-done.

All things aside, a dpkg lock should most certainly prevent synaptic, or any package manager from running. The LiveCD uses both internet and the local cd repo, is it possible synaptic was just busy timing out during its operation? or did it hard lock with no errors? Can you try and run synapti
