Hi Michele,
Thanks very much for the hint. Unfortunately, when I ran apt-get
update, it comes up with the following (I'm paraphrasing)...
*****
Reading package lists... Error!
W: GPG error: ppa.launchpad.net
The following signatures were invalid...
BADSIG ... Launchpad PPA for Daniel Richter
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
E: Problem with mergelist ...
*****
So, with a bit of searching, I found this web page ...
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1978554
... then followed these instructions ...
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
sudo apt-get update
... and got an error-free result.
Now both Software Manager and Synaptic start up OK.
However:
I'm pretty sure the only thing I use from Daniel Richter is
grub-customizer. And that program appears as installed in both Software
Manager and Synaptic.
Just wondering, if anyone knows, whether any updates for my
grub-customizer will continue to be detected and installed in the
future? Or is it now "orphaned"... in an updating sense of the word?

t looks like the package list is corrupted. Try to update it from command line:
sudo apt-get update
