The same happens to me, but with any package. Synaptic simply download the 
package, shows the install progress bar and then rebuild the dependences tree, 
as usual. But the package selected isn't instaled (synaptic show the package 
selected for install).
It doesn't neither work the uninstall, upgrade or any option.
No error showed at any time. Neither running it from console (as root).

My system:
fedora core 2 - 2.6.5-1.358 (tettnang)
synaptic-0.52-1.1.fc2.fr

Summary:  packages not installing

Original Submission:  I'm trying to get eclipse to install. I've set the 
sources.list see below. The first time I ran synaptic it happily downloaded 
everything it needed but didn't install apparently. No error message no hint of 
a problem. Now, when I double click on the eclipse platform synaptic thinks 
about it for a second but no errors in the terminal and no Eclipse...i'm in the 
dark here...

here's the sources list
rpm ftp://us.dl.sf.net/pub/sourceforge/jpackage/direct_download 1.5/generic 
freerpm-src ftp://us.dl.sf.net/pub/sourceforge/jpackage/direct_download 
1.5/generic
free non-free
rpm ftp://us.dl.sf.net/pub/sourceforge/jpackage/direct_download 1.5/redhat-9 
free
rpm-src ftp://us.dl.sf.net/pub/sourceforge/jpackage/direct_download 
1.5/redhat-9 free
rpm ftp://eu.dl.sf.net/pub/sourceforge/jpackage/direct_download 1.5/generic 
freerpm-src ftp://eu.dl.sf.net/pub/sourceforge/jpackage/direct_download 
1.5/generic
free non-free
rpm ftp://eu.dl.sf.net/pub/sourceforge/jpackage/direct_download 1.5/redhat-9 
free
rpm-src ftp://eu.dl.sf.net/pub/sourceforge/jpackage/direct_download 
1.5/redhat-9 free 

ideas?

I think this bug is fixed. synaptic will tell the user about problems like the 
one described below now.

this is probably caused by the following situation. if you try to install 
something the internal problem resolver tries to satisfy every dependency. if 
this fails it cleans up so that no broken packages will be generated. this 
might mean that it just undoes the request to install elcipse. you may check 
the "what it would depend on" tab und "depenedencies" and see if you find the 
problem there. we know that this resolving strategie isn't optiomal, we may 
just throw a error in the future to tell the user what's going on.
