The fact that your working directory is a user's (yours?), and ???sbin directories are not in your $PATH suggests you might have become root using "su" and not "su -" or "su --login". Try one of these instead. (The change to su's semantics gets discussed here fairly regularly.)
Thanks, David. It worked. That occurred to me when I first typed "su", but then I forgot to go back and try. Now I can sleep tonight without worrying about it. I suppose I should have shut down some of processes before running Synaptic. RLH
