Synaptic cries foul

Sorry. I'm running SuSE 9.3 Pro on an x86 machine with 200gb hd and 1gb RAM. Synaptic tells me that I've got a broken gnutls package. It tells me that I have the latest version (1.2.0-3.2) and claims only it is broken. When I select reinstallation, however, synaptic wants to remove several other programs for some reason. Has anyone else seen this kind of problem? If so, what was your fix? Thanks in advance, Jack
