Package: Synaptic
Version: 0.57.5
(However, it has been apparent for a month or so now, on an Unstable box
that's updated every few days.)
The Problem:
I have the 'Applying Changes' text box set to close after downloading
completes. If I change desktops while it is completing the installation
of new packages, and the set up routine completes while I'm on another
desktop, Synaptic eventually goes back to its interactive mode (ie I can
select more changes.)
However, the window displaying the 'Applying Changes' routine will still
be 'alive' but empty wherever I left it. If I close this window manually
(I can minimise it without ill-effect), Synaptic crashes. An error box
reports the following:
Failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root:
Child terminated with 11 status
If I launch Synaptic from an xterm I also get the following error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gksu synaptic
(synaptic:21036): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixmap_foreign_new_for_display:
assertion `(anid != 0)' failed
For what it's worth, I'm running the unstable version of IceWM. I
haven't thought (until now) to test it out on other window managers, but
I'm happy to do so if you think it's relevant.
