Is synaptic really not more helpful/specific than that? Yucko.

You should try a "dpkg --configure -a" first, and see if dpkg finds
any packages that are unfinished in some way. Next steps vary widely
depending on how that goes, but finishing an incomplete --configure
will often be enough. Let us know what happens.
