Hello Keith,
So if I don't install Wayland, I should not loose synaptic - for those
odd times I need it to help me find something?
That /would/ have been the case, yes. Not so now; Synaptic is no longer
available in testing. You can, of course, d/l synaptic (the version
in sid is currently the same as the one that's been deleted from
testing) and install using dpkg.
If you're happy to use snapshot.debian, you can re-install Synaptic that
way. Be sure to disable the relevant repo entry as soon as you've
performed the installation.
And the manual installation I did on my vbox test machine should be OK?
That I have no idea about. Sorry.
