Synaptic appearence distorted..

[tele]

Instaling , removing from synaptic , can not work, but from root terminal apt-get working, like:
apt-get install smart

You can use smart package manager , I hope this help, because I 'm not sure ... this package is corect .

And please , try make copy system with this bug ,  
 I can' not, my zen-linux not working,
last time I use pclinux from hard drive  for resize partition and my partition lost, repairs will take too much time.
You can copy all system, make .iso file like pc-linux , or .img copy partition.

Example:

Edit:
You can put copy pc-linux ( .iso file or .img , etc.)  , example upload  in dropbox server ( you have this app. in synaptic too for this)
Then, maybe someone will see and find the answer, what is the problem

This is what I see when starting synaptic from a terminal:

[root@localhost ole]# synaptic

Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_hide: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()

already faster is to install a new pc-linux   
In new pc-linux  -> working synaptic
or use smart package installer or apt-get from terminal
mayby this is lib.so.6 , maybe not....
