BTW, I don't use synaptic myself. Too much bloat. The command-line
suits my needs just fine.
I'd have loved using aptitude but could never understand how to do
the simplest thing with it, although I watched several experts using it
and was impressed. As a menu-driven package manager, I very often use
Synaptic, leaving apt-get for quick simple things or when dist-upgrading.
I don't use synaptic with pkexec to get the permission. I think I
haven't pkexec installed. I have a button on my pannel programmed with
sh -c "SUDO_ASKPASS=/usr/bin/ssh-askpass sudo -A synaptic".
For this to work, I must have ssh-askpass installed, /etc/sudoers
configured to allow me to invoque synaptic, plus the following line in
/etc/sudoers:
Defaults env_keep = "EDITOR LOGNAME XAUTHORITY DISPLAY"
Only XAUTHORITY and DISPLAY are needed in this case, the other
variables serve other purposes.
Why don't you use the trusty old dselect?
Cheers
Mike
