All of a sudden synaptic will not launch. Reports a false positive, bad password given for root. This is not correct because I can launch synaptic from console as root. I think that this bug arises from a faulty implementation of policykit-1 Thank you, -- *Carlos Kosloff* ------------------------------------------------------------------------
