This message comes from the CLI version of synaptic. If considered a bug then the CLI version should be able to handle this kind of scenario instead of displaying an error.
Marking as upstream on synaptic.
Not to upstream devs: This is how synaptic is called:
sudo /usr/sbin/synaptic --hide-main-window --non-interactive --progress-str "Please wait, this can take some time" --finish-str "Update is complete" --set-selection
filename refers to a file containing a set of "package install" lines (following dpkg --set-selection format).
