Re: Alt-F2 then Synaptic launches firefox
Ok, here is some further information on this problem. It is reproducable,
whether firefox is open or not. Synaptic version 0.56 is installed on a
Debian Sid machine, running linux 2.6.10-1-386 and KDE 3.3.2. When /usr/sbin
is run from the command line as root, it runs fine. When run from the KDE
menu, which calls the same, it's fine. When Synaptic (note the capital S),
which always did work, then I get firefox launching the page as mentioned.
This seems to happen, exactly the same, when any command that is not
recognised is run in the Alt-F2 dialogue. The problem seems to be that
Synaptic is no longer recognised, and it was before.
Here is a list of what was upgraded in my last upgrade, which is where this
