I have had the same problems with Synaptic. Usually my second go at it
seems to work.

Are there issues with Synaptic 0.47?
I'm trying to use it to update a fresh FC1 installation. It downloads the
many packages needed. Later, as it starts to install the downloaded
packages, disk activity ends. (I've let it go 30 minutes with no disk
activity and a spinning sandclock) Process manager then reports Synaptic
is sleeping. At this point, I can't kill Synaptic with Process Manager,
which itself requires a Force Quit to close. (After I enter the requested
root password, Process Manager freezes.) I can kill Synaptic from the
command line. On subsequent runs of Synaptic, it displays a very large
error message complaining about duplicate packages. The error message
extends off the top and bottom of the screen, obscuring the Synaptic
menus. At this point, Synaptic does not respond to a "Close" and I have
to kill it manually.
