Package: synaptic Version: 0.62.5 --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I still get this message. I think someone here had mentioned a patch but I don't know how to apply it and I don't want to for each update. debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog debconf: (TERM is not set, so the dialog frontend is not usable.) debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline I have an icon on my Gnome panel with this command: /usr/bin/su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/synaptic So could be that su-to-root makes the problem. Hope this helps.
