After many tries I stopped trying to get synaptic working. Perhaps
someone with better skills than I will make a newer version that works on
10.1 ?? Anyway, if you want a gui front-end for apt-get the best you can
do for now, after installing apt (apt-debuginfo, apt-devel, apt-libs,
apt-server ??) is to use KPackage. This is a standard 10.1 package.
And
it works. Must admit I too like synaptic but, alas, it doesn't work here.

I even went so far as to get patches (3)to allow synaptic to work with
gcc-4.1, but I don't think I did that (patch) correctly !!

Maybe some other time I'll try that again. See if you can find those
patches. It wasn't easy !!!

:-)

Never quit trying :)
I have submitted a patch to
http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?group=synaptic that allows compilation
of the latest version with gcc 4.1. It's pretty simple. I have also
prepared a spec file for it. I now have synaptic running and it's much
better than any mono/.NET infected package manager GUI.
Can I post attachments in this group?


And then I realized how you CAN post that here. Presuming that the patch is
not too large just post a message with the patch in it. Just do something
like..

-----------Begin Patch Here-----------------------

Patch info, etc, etc....


--------End Patch Here--------------------

Then we can simply copy & paste in our favorite text editor and save as
synaptic.patch .
.
