Report against synaptic I guess... and not dpkg.

What about copying its (english) output instead of an strace ?

Please run "LANG=C dpkg --configure -a" and show us what it says.

If it's a package that is unable to configure, it's not a dpkg bug
but one of the given package... and if synaptic does not start because
one package is not configured, it would be a synaptic bug.
