Hi,for some time now, synaptic apparently does not set the TERM variable. When it comes to installing new packages, I get the following warning:
***** WARNING: terminal is not fully functional debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog debconf: (TERM is not set, so the dialog frontend is not usable.) debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline *****Of course, it is quite easy to start synaptic without this warning from the commandline:
***** TERM=xterm synaptic-pkexec *****However, this only works from the commandline. I have a launcher for synaptic on the panel (using current MATE from sid). If I change the command there from
***** synaptic-pkexec ***** to the line above, nothing happens -- synaptic won't even start.Now, I just found out that I can get it to start using the launcher when I edit /usr/bin/synaptic-pkexec and set TERM there:
***** #!/bin/sh TERM=xterm pkexec "/usr/sbin/synaptic" "$@" ***** Would it be possible to include this small change in the next version? Best regards, Andreas
