The problem is probably caused by a configuration of synaptic saved on the ROOT directory. After purging synaptic, the configuration files should be removed, but they aren't... I coud find a .synaptic in root and in my home directory.
This should be considered another bug, or this is an acceptable behavior? I think purging a package should delete ALL config files... By the way, i'm getting this error on debian wheezy, but is consistent with i read here, so here i am :) manually editing the config for the defult-release solved this for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880003 Title: Synaptic displays "An error occurred" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/880003/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
