I haven't played much yet with the 0.6x releases, but I'm half expecting some problems with apt (and therefore synaptic). 0.6 and up now come without the dpkg and apt stuff installed, these are installed after a HDinstall and running dpkg-restore. Not sure yet if the restore script installs every lib needed for proper dependencies (for things like synaptic).
The 0.6x run also has switched to using busybox for most of the basic, shell-related functions. The potential drawback to this will be apt-get'ing something that depends on a specific program that's no longer installed on it's own. For example, if you apt-get install something-that-depends-on-tar, and busybox is the package providing tar, the dependency could fail since dpkg thinks tar isn't really there. (this is just an example, I don't really know for sure)
Sgall, if you ran 'apt-get upgrade' you basically replaced your DSL installation with a Debian install (not that that's a problem, it's just no longer damn small).
Hasty, try 'apt-get install libapt-pkg-libc6.2-3-2-3.2' or 'apt-get install libapt-pkg', then try to install synaptic. As slick as Apt is, there seem to be some instances that it doesn't follow dependencies as well as it could.
