Synaptic Won't Let Me Edit my Repositories

[David M. Carney]

Running Synaptic 0.56 on a fresh Hoary install.

Clicking on Settings >> Repositories starts the dialog box to view the
repositories, but it quickly goes away (before anything can actually be
reviewed) and then Synaptic reloads the package information instead.

This happens EVERY time.

I can confirm that this is exactly what is happening to me also.

I am also having this problem.

I uploaded a new version of the code that builds the repository dialog (part of
update-manager_0.37.1+svn20050221) and it should hit the archive soon. This will
fix the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Cheers,

This seems to have fixed it (and the Update manager!).

I changed the status to fixed.

Thanks a million!
