Package: synaptic Version: 0.84.2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, The following error is shown, once it's OK'd, Synaptic closes. E: The value 'testing-proposed-updates' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources E: _cache->open() failed, please report. That is a source that Synaptic picked itself, not me - and damned if I can find where this is configured on my system, in order to delete the offending line in order to relaunch/use Synaptic Package Manager. This app needs some love, see previous bug filed (not as serious as this one, but a usability bug). -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/6 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (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 0.15-1 ii libapt-inst2.0 1.4~rc2 ii libapt-pkg5.0 1.4~rc2 ii libatk1.0-0 2.22.0-1 ii libc6 2.24-9 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.14.8-1 ii libcairo2 1.14.8-1 ii libept1.5.0 1.1+nmu3+b1 ii libgcc1 1:6.3.0-6 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.5-2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.3-1 ii libgnutls30 3.5.8-3 ii libgtk-3-0 3.22.8-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.4-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.4-1 ii libpcre2-8-0 10.22-2+b1 ii libstdc++6 6.3.0-6 ii libvte-2.91-0 0.46.1-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxapian30 1.4.3-1 ii policykit-1 0.105-17 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 Versions of packages synaptic recommends: ii libgtk2-perl 2:1.2499-1 ii rarian-compat 0.8.1-6+b1 ii xdg-utils 1.1.1-1 Versions of packages synaptic suggests: ii apt-xapian-index 0.49 pn deborphan <none> pn dwww <none> ii menu 2.1.47+b1 ii software-properties-gtk 0.96.20.2-1 ii tasksel 3.39 -- no debconf information
