Now, the (new) bad news: The first time I ran it: gilr@linux:~> sux -c /usr/sbin/synaptic I got an error: error restoring raptoptions E: Opening configuration file /root/.synaptic/filters - ifstream::ifstream (2 No such file or directory) ['/filters' is a script file, not a directory: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1261 Oct 24 07:47 filters ]
However, the GUI opened well, and I could take a look at the list of packages, but I had to leave. When I returned and rebooted, *besides* that error, I got a second error: Could not open file /etc/apt/preferences - open (2 No such file or directory) I took a look at the directory: gilr@linux:~> ls -A /etc/apt apt.conf rpmpriorities sources.list vendors.list This time, the whole GUI is grayed out *and* there's no package list. *Worse still*, it can't be closed; I had to do a 'ps ax, kill'.
Of course, I was working on my user terminal as sux; I rebooted as root, it made no difference.

I seem to recall running touch /etc/apt/preferences sorry I used to have the apt threads on my disk but they're gone, i remember htis being asked and answered. i think touch should work though Never heard of the filter thing. Franklin
