Synaptic integration

[Peter Hillier-Brook]

Help, please. I installed Synaptic from the standard repository and I've 
noticed many missing features, including the current transfer status of 
downloading files, repository details, mal-functioning scroll bar  plus 
others.

This has happened before and was caused by a missing library, but I 
can't remember which library it was. Could anyone aid my failing memory 
- I promise to keep a written record for next time. :-)
