All things aside, a dpkg lock should most certainly prevent synaptic, or any package manager from running. The LiveCD uses both internet and the local cd repo, is it possible synaptic was just busy timing out during its operation? or did it hard lock with no errors? Can you try and run synaptic from a terminal to get the output of why it will not start? if it does start and crashes we could use that output also (will be in /var/crash/). Thanks, David P.
