I experienced problems with synaptic : at one time I tried to edit the repositry list but I added something wrong in one of the entries ! ; now no way to open synaptic anymore at it says that the repositry list is corrupted (thogh synaptic saved it as such before !) ; I removed synaptic package reloaded it again : again no way as the same corrupted repositry list is used ! ; I wish I knew where this file is located to clean it up ! -- Daniel Moyne (Nulix)---------------------------------------------------------- Distribution : Mandrake 10.2 test \\|// Fedora Core 3 on test kernel 2.6.8 / --- \ kernel 2.6.9 and 2.6.10 KDE 3.3 (' o-o ') KDE 3.3 ------------------------------------oOO-(_)-OOo-------------------------------
