Package: synaptic
Version: 0.55+cvs20050218-1
Severity: normal

If I select Package/Configure... on a debconfable package with no settings to 
set right now (for example, adduser behaves like that on my system), the 
behaviour is confusing. If I run

dpkg-reconfigure -fgnome adduser

from the command line, it does indeed return to the command line straight 
away, which is probably expected. Since synaptic uses this (as far as I know), 
it seems to do nothing, which makes it look like it's ignoring the menu item 
entirely. I'm not sure about the best way to fix this, perhaps 
dpkg-reconfigure has a return code you could check?

Thanks,
Andrew.
