Hi Reco,
Thanks for your reply, as, on a related note, this helps me with the
basic presentation that I an working on. I was aware that synaptic is
now removed, but I wasn't aware what it it had been replaced with
I get info on what is in buster from this page
https://wiki.debian.org/NewInBuster
Would it be worth updating this page so others know to use
gnome-packagekit instead, even if this information is elsewhere.
Regards
Paul
