Synaptic can't start after partial UP5
Due to the huge number of packages list in UP5, I selected to make small batches of upgrade to avoid a long single process. After some batches however, I cannot restart synaptic. Using terminal to start, I get the following:
fuh@fuh:~$ sudo synaptic

there's something very wrong in that file, it should show something similar to
you probably have a /etc/lsb-release.dpkg.old file and that one should be sane;

this is surely a long shoot in the dark (but honestly i'm running out of ideas) can you reinstall these packages
