Package: synaptic Version: 0.62.5 Severity: minor I just ran synaptic -h without root privileges to check its command-line flags, and got the following text in a warning dialog before it printed its help message: ==== Starting without administrative privileges
You will not be able to apply any changes. But you can still export the marked changes or create a download script for them. ==== When run with -h, the message is meaningless, because Synaptic isn't actually starting at all. That check should probably be moved to after command line arguments are parsed. Thanks for all the great work to date. I'll look into preparing a patch this evening. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages synaptic depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6. 0.7.20.1 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii apt-utils [libapt-inst 0.7.20.1 APT utility programs ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-7 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-3 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.7-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.3.3-1 GCC support library ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.3-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.11-4 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.5-3 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libstdc++6 4.3.3-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libvte9 1:0.16.14-4 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxft2 2.1.12-3 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-5 GNOME XML library ii scrollkeeper 0.3.14-16 A free electronic cataloging syste ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages synaptic recommends: pn deborphan <none> (no description available) ii gksu 2.0.0-7 graphical frontend to su ii libgnome2-perl 1.042-1+b1 Perl interface to the GNOME librar ii menu 2.1.41 generates programs menu for all me Versions of packages synaptic suggests: pn dwww <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
