A thing that made me think that Synaptic is the problem, is that, on
my Debian 6 computer with the i3 CPU, rather than the Celeron CPU (the
one that had the fil;e update problem), when the i3 system hanged, or
frozed, as it does from time to time, I decided to reboot it and do an
overdue update, which involved 42 packages (I think), and, after it
had rebooted, when I tried to run Synaptic, to do the system update,
when Synaptic tried to download the information, it got lost, and,
after a while, I gave up on Synaptic, for the system update, and ran
apt-get update and upgarde, and, that method worked without any
problems (apart from the previously indicated Opera problem).

Synaptic, on the i3 system, is not the first time that this has
happened.
So, Synaptic appears to be broken, for updating packages.
