    Synaptic failure

    After I added debian sid to the repositories, Synaptic won't run. From the Application Launcher menu, it asks for my PW but then disappears. From a console, simply typing "synaptic" produces this:

    (process:2479): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
    Using the fallback 'C' locale.

    ** (synaptic:2479): WARNING **: Couldn't register with accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
    Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.

    (synaptic:2479): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkNotebook 0x9407928 is mapped but visible child GtkLabel 0x9561dc0 is not mapped

    (synaptic:2479): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkNotebook 0x9407928 is mapped but visible child GtkLabel 0x9595228 is not mapped
    .
    .
    [many other statements like these]

    How do I get it back? Seems to me this has happened before, but I haven't found the resolution.

    Well, this is not really surprising, as Ubuntu and Debian packages are never really in sync with each other. Synaptic (which, say, is from Debian) is looking for a library or other needed thing with one version, the one it was compiled against, while the missing bit is from Ubuntu.

      The output you supplied is the usual Gtk+ garbage one sees when starting a Gtk+ program on KDE in a console window. None of it matters. Perhaps there's more, but I sense that you didn't copy/paste the full output.

      Claydoh's observation is correct. You cannot combine Debian's repositories with Ubuntu's.

        You're right, Steve... as my "[many other statements like these]" indicates. Here's the whole thing... but mainly, how do I get Synaptic back? Muon Package Manager won't run either (no, I haven't filed a bug report).

        I was surprised when this happened, because I'm pretty sure I've installed packages from debian/sid before.

          Hopefully apt-get will still work. Use it in a console to uninstall Synaptic. Then, remove the sid repository from your sources.list.

          Then run
          sudo apt-get update
          If you get any errors try
          sudo apt-get -f install
          and
          sudo dpkg --configure -all

          When (if) they report no errors then do
          sudo apt-get autoremove
          to clean up debris.
          For good measure reinstall muon.
          Good luck.

            Thanks, GreyGeek! This is exactly what I was looking for. Sort of figured an uninstall-reinstall was in the works.

            EDIT/UPDATE: Synaptic and Muon are both now running. I don't think I would have thought of editing /etc/apt/sources.list without GG's advice.

            Maybe I misremember, but I could swear I've used debian sid before. Think I'll steer clear of it after this experience.
