Comment 14 for bug 1766161

Ok G, I didn't want to just make it a duplicate as you had been working on this bug with Humphrey. I saw Raimondo's comment as I'm subscribed to all synaptic bugs. I don't think increasing the importance is going to get anyone to fix this issue any quicker if at all.

Closing now by marking as a duplicate.

Side note: If you don't mind a console application take a look at aptitude for searching, holding or installing/upgrading multiple applications. It's a true front-end to apt unlike synaptic.
