Package: synaptic Version: 0.83+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When attempting to start Synaptic on GNOME Wayland, it fails to start. When attempting to run as root via sudo from a terminal, the following error appears: ryan@ArchibaldColgan:~$ sudo synaptic No protocol specified Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused (synaptic:30717): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0 -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages synaptic depends on: ii hicolor-icon-theme 0.13-1 ii libapt-inst2.0 1.2.6 ii libapt-pkg5.0 1.2.6 ii libatk1.0-0 2.18.0-1 ii libc6 2.21-9 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.14.6-1 ii libcairo2 1.14.6-1 ii libept1.5.0 1.1+nmu3 ii libgcc1 1:5.3.1-11 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.32.3-1.2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.46.2-3 ii libgnutls30 3.4.9-2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.18.8-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.38.1-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.38.1-1 ii libstdc++6 5.3.1-11 ii libvte-2.91-0 0.42.4-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1 ii libxapian22v5 1.2.22-3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages synaptic recommends: ii gksu 2.0.2-9 ii libgtk2-perl 2:1.2498-1 ii policykit-1 0.105-14.1 ii rarian-compat 0.8.1-6 ii xdg-utils 1.1.1-1 Versions of packages synaptic suggests: ii apt-xapian-index 0.47+nmu2 pn deborphan <none> pn dwww <none> ii menu 2.1.47 pn software-properties-gtk <none> ii tasksel 3.34 -- no debconf information
