Again?
Lol !!! 8^D

Maybe there should be a STICKY like this, somewhere appropiate:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note:

FOR ALL RELEASES/NEW INSTALLATIONS ------> -----> ---> --> -> READ THE %&$#" RELEASE NOTES

Especially the section with the title "Notes on Specific Packages and Issues".

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cheers,

You shouldn't use su to run the synaptic-pkexec script.

Just run it as your normal user.

EDIT: and use su - instead if you need superuser permissions.

Dammit I said I wouldn't post about that again...
