https://packages.debian.org/source/buster/synaptic

I presume it will be added to beowulf soon.

I hope it will stick around...I kinda grew-up with synaptic - [sniffle..]
That muon reminds me of bsd's pkg gui...but, naaa - KDE programs...nadda for me tongue

Guess it'll fade away...like allot - of package description, are...fading...disappearing...

See:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … =818366#45

And the synaptic bugreport - the developer asks for help refactoring due to being short on spare time.

https://github.com/mvo5/synaptic/issues … -357439865

Anyone here interested in packaging it or help upstream? Guess I use aptitude for now, if I need to; not so often luckily.

No, he don't. Most of those "misconceptions" are fictional conclusions suitable for "debunking". I can tell a lot about wayland and X11. However, for this topic it's enoung to mention very demonstrative fact: 10 years of development without result. So no, it's wrong to remove a package because it doesn't work with wayland. According to that argument much more packages should be removed because even with XWayland not everything works properly.

Well it certainly doesn't make much sense in Devuan, I think golinux is right and we'll see it back at some point.

Not that I would miss it...

I hope so.

As beowulf is derived from buster then it has been removed from there as well.

Try this for a replacement:

# apt install aptitude
# aptitude -u

Ncurses ftw!
