The same happens to me, but with any package. Synaptic simply download the package, shows the install progress bar and then rebuild the dependences tree, as usual. But the package selected isn't instaled (synaptic show the package selected for install).
It doesn't neither work the uninstall, upgrade or any option.
No error showed at any time. Neither running it from console (as root).

My system:
fedora core 2 - 2.6.5-1.358 (tettnang)
synaptic-0.52-1.1.fc2.fr

I think this bug is fixed. synaptic will tell the user about problems like the one described below now.

this is probably caused by the following situation. if you try to install something the internal problem resolver tries to satisfy every dependency. if this fails it cleans up so that no broken packages will be generated. this might mean that it just undoes the request to install elcipse. you may check the "what it would depend on" tab und "depenedencies" and see if you find the problem there. we know that this resolving strategie isn't optiomal, we may just throw a error in the future to tell the user what's going on.
