I have removed the duplicate marking on this bug. The bug this was marked as a duplicate of, bug #1712089, is a general report about the inability to run graphical applications as root under Wayland. As noted in comment #3, this is a Wayland design decision and Synaptic needs to be changed.
I am concerned that if this bug remains as a duplicate it will be invisible to the Synaptic maintainers, delaying a fix.
Absent objections to this change, I will change the duplicate settings on the other Synaptic related bugs currently dup'ed to bug #1712089 to be dup's of this.
Importance needs to be set to High but I don't have permission to do that.
