The partial Jonathon`s workaround (above) still working:
$ sudo rm /var/lib/synaptic/preferences
$ sudo ln -s /etc/apt/preferences /var/lib/synaptic/preferences
I got an unexpect server error this morning (openerp server freezes, and about ten people stop working) because my colegue administrator updates de server using apt-upgrade after I locked packages in Synaptic...
For me this is a bug, not a feature. "Everbody" treat Synaptic as GUI for apt.
Still broken in Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick).
