Synaptic 0.24

Suse 8.0 synaptic-0.24-rb1.i386.rpm apt-0.5.4cnc3-1cl.i386.rpm apt-devel-0.5.4cnc3-1cl.i386.rpm One of my Linux boxes has a problem with Synaptic. It looks like I have stuffed up somewhere. I have tried reinstalling but cannot get past building the dependency tree. It stops there and just hangs. Apt get is working on the command line. It will do Apt-get update without any problems. This is all I have tried so far. I have put in the preferences file with touch /etc/apt/ preferences. This box was previously using Synaptic 0.16. and successfully upgraded a number of software packages. Does anyone have any suggestions ? Brian Marr
