Has this worked previously? Is it a new problem? Have you tried reinstalling the Synaptic? I remember hearing about this previously with an old release Ubuntu a few years ago. I just had a look and managed to find it. Somebody suggests deleting /var/run/synaptic.socket. Your mileage may vary, but here's the bug report - it doesn't sound like it's entirely the same issue, though. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/218213 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
