Package: synaptic
Version: 0.90.2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Hi,
synaptic currently suggests the 'menu' package. Looking back in the
history, it looks like this was due to the usage of su-to-root, used
to gain root permissions when launching synaptic from the Debian or
XDG/desktop menu. synaptic 0.75.12 switches to policykit for this,
dropping the usage of su-to-root.
Hence, I believe it is possible to safely drop the 'menu' suggest;
patch attached for this. I also dropped the conflict with an extremely
old version of 'menu', even older than what's in Debian Jessie.
Thanks,
--
Pino
