That is most likely due to your use of sudo, or its configuration:
"""
root@hurdbox ~ # synaptic
** (synaptic:4669): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Operating system does not support abstract socket namespace
fcntl error
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
"""
Then, the synaptic window is shown. Package installation does work,
refreshing the package lists does not for some reason (file locking?).
