I'm running debain sarge on my laptop. After I got out of hispital, I
ran upgrate/upgrade, but did not pay any attention to what was being
upgraded.

Now when I try to run "sudo synaptic:, I keep getting this error;

sudo synaptic

I've even tried ssh'ing into this laptop, yet I get this same error

Any suggestions?

Thanks
