Thanks for taking the time to report this bug in effort to help improve Ubuntu. Can you please give us a little more information to help us narrow down your issue?
What version of Ubuntu are you currently running?
Please attach the output of the following command: sudo aptitude show synaptic , (if you want you can cut and paste into gedit and attach it here as a .txt file.)
Can you also check to see if you have this file on your system: /var/lib/dpkg/lock, if it's present you can try to do the following: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock && sudo apt-get update . If it isn't present then just reply with the other info and I will ask you try something else.
Please back up any important files that you might think you may need later.
Chris
