I get 404 errors for everything but the lines:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib
You'll see the same thing if you go to
http://penguinppc.org/~daniels/sid/i386/ or
http://people.debian.org/~fpeters/gnome2.4/ in your web browser.
As for the line
deb file:///opt/deb/ ./
Do you have a local repository in /opt/deb ? According to the messages you receive, I think you probably do not.
I'd comment out everything except for the ftp.debian.org lines, then re-run apt-get update. I think after doing so, synaptic will run flawlessly.
