It is almost impossible to advise on this when the command to run has to be guessed and what was being done at the time is not mentioned. I do not use synaptic but the first thing to do is find out how to display a terminal in whatever environment you are using (GNOME?). At the prompt type dpkg --configure -a and press the ENTER key. What you do next depends on what you were doing in the first place.
