Looks like it doesn't have the right library version.  How did synaptic get there?  (And would it be 
any use, if PCLinuxOS is rpm based?  Well, maybe it uses apt-rpm [1])

rpm -qa | grep synaptic will tell you whether it came from an rpm.

If it did come from an rpm use rpm -qR synaptic (whatever the package name is from the above 
command--that doesn't include version number) to see what packages it depends on.

You can also use rpm -qf /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 to see where that library came from.

Eventually you have to find the right library version for your synaptic version.
