Use the 'Broken' filter to locate it." https://launchpadlibrarian.net/158600432/68985-synaptic-1.png 5. Nowhere does Synaptic say what is broken about the package -- neither in the Properties window, nor anywhere else. https://launchpadlibrarian.net/158600481/68985-synaptic-2.png What should happen: 2. Either the alert offers to take you directly to the "Broken dependencies" screen ("This system has 1 broken package. Would you like to review it now? ( Cancel ) ( Broken Packages… )"), or the alert does not exist and the main window instead invites you to go there in one click (perhaps using an InfoBar). - 5. The "Properties" window for the broken package, at least, specifies - exactly what is broken (for example, "Dependency libnet1 is not - installed"). + 5.
