Package: synaptic
Version: 0.84.3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,
Installed debian amd64 from live installed, then upgraded to testing. synaptic
doesn't launch from GUI.
Launching it from terminal displays:
$ sudo synaptic
[sudo] password for user:
No protocol specified
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
(synaptic:28704): Gtk-WARNING **: 23:30:27.352: cannot open display: :0

It is fixed by the command
$ xhost +si:localuser:root
localuser:root being added to access control list
