Description Thiago Sayao 2005-09-12 04:19:37 UTC 
running synaptic from the gnome menu requires the "gksudo" command but there is
no package containing this file.. and it's not a requirement when installing
synaptic.
Comment 1 Martin Lasarsch 2005-09-12 10:56:59 UTC 
Tested with rc1, same problem.  
  
additional comment: if you select synaptics and after that gnome for 
installation (in running system), yast will complain that scrollkeeper-update 
is missing. If you install synaptics after gnome installation again it works.

Fixed.
Comment 5 Philipp Thomas 2005-09-14 18:12:07 UTC 
No, I got side tracked by the scrollkeeper-update thing and that has been solved.
Please open up a new bug for the gksudo bug.

Clear new install of RC1. Updated with YOU.
Now I tried to install synapric. It displayed as dependency apt-libs.

After installing apt-libs, the synapric install failed with:

rpm output:

Comment 7 Philipp Thomas 2005-10-17 11:33:34 UTC 
Fixed in the released version.
Comment 8 Forgotten User gxNgjAWAcH 2005-10-17 14:49:49 UTC 
I can not find synaptic on the Eval DVD (32bit). Is it included only in the retail version?
Comment 9 Roger Oberholtzer 2005-12-02 13:48:28 UTC 
Is this bug also refering to the problem of the synaptic mouse not working in X/KDE? I mean the problem where the mouse creates havoc in browsers and closes windows wildly? I have this in 10.0 final. I ask because I am not running gnome, to which this bug refers. I changed to the PS72 driver and all is sell. But the synaptic is broken.
Comment 10 Forgotten User gxNgjAWAcH 2005-12-02 15:22:59 UTC 
We are speaking about synaptic package manager, not the synaptic mouse driver.
