Retested today with latest Kubuntu Egdy (as of Oct-25-2006), and it is still as flakey as ever.
Opened synaptic, clicked on "reload", waited for it to finish, then clicked on "Mark All Upgrades", and it responded with "fix broken packages first". There are NO broken packages. Quit synaptic, started it again, clicked on "Mark All Upgrades" again, works fine this time (note: system was already completely up to date in both cases -- no upgradable packages at all). ** Changed in: synaptic (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => Unconfirmed -- Synpatic exhibits flakey behaviour after clicking "Reload" button https://launchpad.net/bugs/49864 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
