Package: synaptic Version: 0.62.5 Tags: confirmed Followup-For: Bug #495228
I just tested this by forcibly removing hicolor-icon-theme, and can confirm that synaptic is drastically less usable under that condition. I hate to raise something to RC with the hopes of a release soon, but this could seriously impact people using synaptic for remote package manipulation, and the error message displayed offers instructions that will help, but will make a mess of the system. I'll open a separate bug about that message later. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages synaptic depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6. 0.7.20.1 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii apt-utils [libapt-inst 0.7.20.1 APT utility programs ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-7 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-3 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.7-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.3.3-1 GCC support library ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.3-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.11-4 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.5-3 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libstdc++6 4.3.3-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libvte9 1:0.16.14-4 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxft2 2.1.12-3 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-5 GNOME XML library ii scrollkeeper 0.3.14-16 A free electronic cataloging syste ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages synaptic recommends: pn deborphan <none> (no description available) ii gksu 2.0.0-7 graphical frontend to su ii libgnome2-perl 1.042-1+b1 Perl interface to the GNOME librar ii menu 2.1.41 generates programs menu for all me Versions of packages synaptic suggests: pn dwww <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
