Synaptic not showing up
Synaptic not showing up
on my Debian 9, I cannot get Synaptic package manager to open up.
when I try, I have to enter my password, next the cursor start spinning.
but that is all.
I already purged and re-installed it.
what log-file do I look at ??

Anyway this is all nonsense, just use the command line to install stuff, aptitude's curses interface can be very useful.

Re: Synaptic not showing up
You could try backporting it yourself:fred44nl wrote:how can I get sabnzbdplus from Debian Buster ??

Or maybe use `pip install` but that could b0rk any Debian Python stuff.
