Package: synaptic Version: 0.62.1+nmu1 Severity: normal If the sysadmin has installed apt-listchanges or apt-listbugs (etc) and one of these scripts scrips asks for confirmation, then synaptic won't indicate this to the syadmin. The sysadmin can only tell that this has occured by unfolding the apt I/O section ("show details").
It would be better if synaptic could tell when apt is blocked reading STDIO and then alert the sysadmin to this. Colin S.
