This is a short note. As we all know, Ubuntu has dropped support for Gutsy Gibbon. As we all know, at that point, your Synaptic will also stop operating. Open your /etc/apt/sources.list and update the Ubuntu URLs to point to: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com.
Here's a sample:
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted
This works for all other older, no longer supported releases of Ubuntu. Bear in mind though, if you want to upgrade distributions, you may have to change the url back to the URLs Ubuntu uses for their support distributions.
Just thought I'd just put that reminder out there.
