I have been facing some problems in installing software with ubuntu software center, due to the fact that I have not been able to run no proxy for the whole system, I have tried all methods prescribed in various websites to do the same but i always get 407 Proxy Authentication Required. So I want to install synaptic package manager through source code or .deb file which can be downloaded from the internet and then installed manually. Please post the link from which the same can downloaded and also steps to install it manually. A little detail would be of great help as I am a beginner and unaware of the nuances.

As suggested in one of the answers when i download the .deb package and perform sudo dpkg -i synaptic_0.81.2_amd64.deb in the terminal this is what happens...

I am not able to make out where there has been a mistake.

You can download synaptic package manager .deb file, and install it. Once downloaded, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, navigate to where the file was downloaded, probably the Downloads folder, and run the command(s) below:

sudo dpkg -i <package_name>.deb

Click for 32bit, and 64bit depending on your architecture. Or you can download and build from source.

You may want to take a look at this for the Authentication issue.

Take a look at Ubuntu Packages, and see if works that way.
