Bug Description
Binary package hint: synaptic
I'm on Ubuntu 8.04 [hardy heron] just upgraded from 7.10 recently
I don't know the version of Synaptic because it doesn't work
I don't know the version of update-manager because synaptic doesn't work
I expected to install "skype" and install 99 updates to "hardy heron"
I can't install anything, so how am I going to fix this bug???
both synaptic & update manager gives the same error when trying to install a new package or install updates...
the error is "E: ERROR: could not create configuration directory /home/root/
see picture included...
thank you

When I open Synaptic manager in Hardy I get error :
"E: ERROR: could not create configuration directory /home/root/ .synaptic - mkdir (2 No such file or directory)"
Synaptic version: 0.61ubuntu7
