Bug Description
Tested on iBook G4 with up-to-date Dapper.
When I graphically appeal synaptic a pop-up error window explains :
Échec lors du lancement de /usr/sbin/synaptic en tant qu'utilisateur root :
(translation by me : /usr/sbin/synaptic launch failure as root user )
Failed to communicate with gksu-run-helper.
Received:
su : Authentication failure
While expecting:
gksu: waiting
Yet, a "sudo synaptic" works after that message :
