Spit... This is a guesss, I guess. Could you substantiate it? Having looked at synaptic's dependency list, it's yer old Gtk/Gnome stuff, which still works fine with X11. Doing a (simulated!) install of synaptic on my box tells me that it would kick out sysvinit and put in its place systemd (not a big surprise talking of a gnome-ish app, although I think it'd be possible to tweak things), but there's no hint at this Wayland thing. X11 would be left alone. I think you're barking up the wong tree. Cheers - t
