| If Update Manager is running, you should see a little icon in the top right of your desktop to indicate this. It should only take a few moments to do what ever you're it's doing, and then it will close down and allow you to open up synaptic.
If that's not the problem, and you're sure that you don't have a package manager open, then I'm stumped. I hate to suggest it, but a reboot might solve your problem.
