E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E: Error occurred while processing yakuake (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_dapper_universe_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.  [ TO WHERE? ]

Removing or renaming the "offending" file:

  /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_dapper_universe_binary-i386_Packages

temporarily "solves" the problem (Synaptic will run without complaining), but as soon as some software updater program recreates the IDENTICAL file, Synaptic complains again and quits.
