Package: synaptic Version: 0.84.5 Severity: important As normal user, executing synaptic in a terminal leads to an error so the software does not run:
### start ### $ synaptic-pkexec ==== AUTHENTICATING FOR com.ubuntu.pkexec.synaptic === Authentication is required to run the Synaptic Package Manager Authenticating as: root Password: polkit-agent-helper-1: error response to PolicyKit daemon: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: No session for cookie ==== AUTHENTICATION FAILED === Error executing command as another user: Not authorized This incident has been reported. ### end ### I wonder if the path should be 'com.debian.pkexec.synaptic'. Running it as root leads to another error: ### start ### # synaptic-pkexec Unable to init server: Impossible de se connecter : Connexion refusée (synaptic:1741): Gtk-WARNING **: 14:01:05.636: cannot open display: ### end ### -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages synaptic depends on: ii hicolor-icon-theme 0.17-2 ii libapt-inst2.0 1.8.0~rc2 ii libapt-pkg5.0 1.8.0~rc2 ii libatk1.0-0 2.30.0-2 ii libc6 2.28-6 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.16.0-2 ii libcairo2 1.16.0-2 ii libept1.5.0 1.1+nmu3+b1 ii libgcc1 1:8.2.0-16 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.38.0+dfsg-7 ii libglib2.0-0 2.58.3-1 ii libgnutls30 3.6.6-2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.5-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.42.4-6 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.42.4-6 ii libpcre2-8-0 10.32-4 ii libstdc++6 8.2.0-16 ii libvte-2.91-0 0.54.2-2 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.7-1 ii libxapian30 1.4.9-1 ii policykit-1 0.105-25 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 Versions of packages synaptic recommends: pn libgtk2-perl <none> ii xdg-utils 1.1.3-1 Versions of packages synaptic suggests: pn apt-xapian-index <none> pn deborphan <none> pn dwww <none> pn menu <none> pn software-properties-gtk <none> ii tasksel 3.49 -- no debconf information
