Ah okay, my mistake. Synaptic is another piece of software I've never really used and had only got the impression from another thread that it was having some issues with running under Wayland as it is a GUI app that wants to do things as root. Good to hear that it uses some privilege separation and isn't in fact running the whole app as root. Cheers, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
