Title:
  Synaptic closes without giving an error message on entering a wrong
  password

Status in “synaptic” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: synaptic

  I guess It is not a show stopper but a small problem.

  What should happen:
  When we open Synaptic it first asks for the password. If you enter a wrong password it should give an error message that the password entered is wrong and the user should be able to re-enter it.

  What happens instead:
  On entering the wrong password Synaptic closes without any error messages.
