Package: Synaptic
Version: 0.57.2
When I run "apply" in Synaptic to either remove or install a package, a
pseudo "terminal" opens up displaying symbol characters (triangles,
circles, other shapes) that are unable to be read. This poses a problem
because I am able to tell what synaptic is prompting me to reply to
(i.e. do you want to install this package even though bugs are present-
yes/no) because I am unable to read the font.
I suggest fixing the font to a readable type (i.e Bitstream Vera or
something similiar) rather than the unreadable symbols (circles,
triangles, etc.).
I am running Debian GNU/Linux Etch (testing) with kernel 2.6.11-1-686
and libc-2.3.2.so on a Dell Inspiron 1100. I have had encounter no
other problems using the terminal (konsole) using either aptitude or
apt-get.

Thanks for your mail. I'm closing the bug for now then. If you ever
encounter this problem again, please report a new one or reopen this
