Has this worked previously? Is it a new problem? Have you tried
reinstalling the Synaptic?
I remember hearing about this previously with an old release Ubuntu a
few years ago. I just had a look and managed to find it. Somebody
suggests deleting /var/run/synaptic.socket. Your mileage may vary, but
here's the bug report - it doesn't sound like it's entirely the same
issue, though.
