Package: synaptic
Version: 0.81.2-4
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
Pls refer to this Launchpad bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/1282542
Synaptic issues the following warning when installing or updating packages:
(synaptic:6800): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_child_watch_add_full: assertion
'pid > 0' failed
The installations and upgrades finish successfully. The problem seems to
be the assertion or warning itself.
This warning does not show if same operations are performed via apt-get.
According to the bug report mentioned above, the bug was fixed in
Synaptic 0.82.5 . So, pls kindly consider updating the packages
available in Debian repos to this version.
I am willing to test if needed. I use Linux Mint Debian Edition, but
have resources available for virtual machines.
I skipped testing newer versions available in Debian repos because the
fix is reported to be committed only in 0.82.5 .
Best regards,
Emerson
