Gracias, pero para poder procesar este error necesitamos saber unos cuantos datos mas. Por favor contesta a estos puntos (si puede ser en ingles, mejor):

1. Que error te da exactamente el Synaptic?
2. "Añadir/Quitar" da el mismo error o simplemente no se abre?
3. Abre la Terminal (Aplicaciones -> Accesorios -> Terminal) y comprueba si instalando algún programa con "sudo apt-get install <nombre del programa>" también te da error. Si no sabes el nombre de ningún programa en Ubuntu puedes probar con "sudo apt-get install youtube-dl", que es una descarga muy pequeña, y si funciona volver a desinstalarlo con "sudo apt-get remove youtube-dl". En caso de que de algun error, copia el texto completo aquí.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for your bug report, but to know what's the problem we need you to provide us some more information. Please answer the following points (if possible, in English):

1. What's exactly the error Syanptic gives?
2. Does "Install and Remove Applications" give the same one or does it just don't open.
3. Open a terminal window and check if you can install any program with "sudo apt-get install <program name>" or it gives error, too.
