Firstly, please create a new email when asking a new question, rather
than just replying to an old one. You'll get more interested people
(since the subject will match the question) that way.

The easiest way to search is probably though the Google Groups mirror:
http://groups.google.com/group/ubuntu-users-archive
It's not updated immediately, though, sometimes lags a couple of hours
behind.
It's worth pointing out, though, that the archives of this list are as
able to pop up on a normal web search as any other.

Please use a subject header with some relevance to the topic in the
body of the email.

dpkg --configure -a
as root to attempt to fix it.

Synaptic requires dpkg in order to work. dpkg is in an inconsistent
state given the above mentioned failure.

run
sudo dpkg --configure -a

Also, there is no version 2.23.2 of Ubuntu.
