Package: synaptic Version: 0.62.1 Severity: important When installing/removing anything, the "Changes applied" dialogue window eventually comes up, however in the details
There are pages and pages of errors: .... Processing triggers for man-db ... Processing triggers for menu ... /usr/lib/menu/tk707: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `tk707' /usr/lib/menu/tk707: line 1: `?package(tk707):needs="X11" section="Apps/Sound" \' Execution of /usr/lib/menu/tk707 generated no output or returned an error. /usr/lib/menu/bwm: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `bwm' /usr/lib/menu/bwm: line 1: `?package(bwm):needs=text section=Apps/Net\' Execution of /usr/lib/menu/bwm generated no output or returned an error. /usr/lib/menu/vux: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `vux' /usr/lib/menu/vux: line 1: `?package(vux):needs="text" section="Apps/Sound" \' Execution of /usr/lib/menu/vux generated no output or returned an error. /usr/lib/menu/googlizer: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `googlizer' /usr/lib/menu/googlizer: line 1: `?package(googlizer):needs=X11 section="Apps/Net" \' The important part here isn't so much that the errors are occurring but that synaptic is somehow not detecting that they are taking place, and/or fixing the problem. And god knows what's happening to my system in the meanwhile. This is not the first time that this has happened, either. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages synaptic depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6. 0.7.14+b1 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii apt-utils [libapt-inst 0.7.14+b1 APT utility programs ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-6 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.7-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.3.1-2 GCC support library ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.2-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.11-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.5-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libstdc++6 4.3.1-2 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libvte9 1:0.16.14-3 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ ii libx11-6 2:1.1.4-2 X11 client-side library ii libxft2 2.1.12-3 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii scrollkeeper 0.3.14-16 A free electronic cataloging syste ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages synaptic recommends: pn deborphan <none> (no description available) ii gksu 2.0.0-5 graphical frontend to su ii libgnome2-perl 1.042-1+b1 Perl interface to the GNOME librar ii menu 2.1.40 generates programs menu for all me Versions of packages synaptic suggests: pn dwww <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
