i've had similar experience in the rare times i used synaptic, it does
it's job well, and runs well to the end, and then stops there,
whatever it was asked to do, would be already done, even though it
doesn't look like it. after that i kill synaptic, i thought it is
because i was using KDE4 when i tried it, i never used synaptic in
KDE3 to see if it happens in KDE in general, does anyone on the list
use synaptic, and can confirm this?
