The problem is probably caused by a configuration of synaptic saved on the ROOT directory. After purging synaptic, the configuration files should be removed, but they aren't... I coud find a .synaptic in root and in my home directory.
This should be considered another bug, or this is an acceptable behavior? I think purging a package should delete ALL config files...
By the way, i'm getting this error on debian wheezy, but is consistent with i read here, so here i am :)
manually editing the config for the defult-release solved this for me.
