After a clean install (i386 desktop) I receive an error when

1. System/Administration/Update Manager
2. System/Administration/Synaptic Package Manager

An error occured
The following details are provided:
E:ERROR: could not create configuration directory
/home/root/.synaptic - mkdir (2 No such file or directory)
