Sorry, I've come in late here, but can you not run Synaptic from the
standard menu entry? It issues the command synaptic-pkexec, as others
have said. I believe policykit does not allow the use of Synaptic with
sudo, only with the root password.
I'm on Xfce4 on sid. Loads of Wayland lib stuff, definitely no Wayland
graphics.
