To get synaptic to show orphans, you have to add a filter. Follow these instructions:
- Start synaptic - Proceed to Settings->Filters - New filter - Uncheck everything but "Orphaned"; if you leave anything else checked, then either nothing will show or every package available will show. - View the filter under Custom Filters I'm pretty sure we're talking about someone a little more advanced than Joe Mama is going to see. -- Orphan Search https://launchpad.net/bugs/17297 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
