I remove the offending package that stoped the update process. And
Synaptics works.

I remove bzip2-doc package through # dpkg.
I could not remove bzip2-doc with Synaptics.

I used dpkg --remove bzip2-doc. It worked.
I then upgraded with Synaptics.

I conclude:
 -- there is a configuration problem with the present bzip2-doc package
 -- there is a parsing problem with the apt-listbug parser, it is not very 
robust.
