Public bug reported:
Some packages are immediately flagged as broken when clicked to Mark for
installation.
No reason is given for this. That should be a bug report in its own right...
But then, after DESELECTING the broken package, and selecting a viable
package, Synaptic will refuse to install packages "because you have held
a broken package."
It won't be able to install new packages again until Synaptic has been
closed and re-opened.
