    synaptic:5383 error



    Anyone ever get this:

    (synaptic:5383): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_tree_view_unref_tree_helper: assertion `node != NULL' failed

    When I use "su - "to run synaptic It completely fails but when I run"su" it runs but gives me the above error. I am not sure where to look to solve this, seeing as there is a ton of gtk stuff.

    what happens when you try to install something with apt? also try
    Code:
     apt-get -f install

    I didn't get the error with apt so I assumed there was a bug in the synaptic interface. I did a search on google and found some similar experiences with similar error messages. I did some upgrading of some gtk libraries and got the errors to go away.
