And I can provide assistance in compiling Synaptic: You need to change some code to avoid compilation and installation errors:
common/rpackagelister.cc:1819 change line _strtabexpand(Buffer, sizeof(Buffer)); to SubstVar(Buffer, "\t", " "); data/com.ubuntu.pkexec.synaptic.policy:49 change line <annotate key="org.freedesktop.policykit.exec.path">/usr/sbin/synaptic</annotate> to <annotate key="org.freedesktop.policykit.exec.path">/usr/local/sbin/synaptic</annotate> You also need to install the following packages (replace amd64 with your architecture). I installed the files manually to make sure I don't break my stystem with officially incompatible packages. libapt-pkg6.0t64_2.9.8_amd64 libept1.6.0t64_1.2.1+nmu1build1_amd64 libept-dev_1.2.1+nmu1build1_amd64 The packages can be downloaded here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libept After installation of these packages run sudo ldconfig. Run autogen.sh and install missing libraries via Synaptic or apt. When autogen.sh runs fine run make and make install. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2102220 Title: synaptic: quick search field missing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/2102220/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
