Fair enough.  Should I chmod a+x /root/.synaptic/tmp then, or is there a
nicer way?

Also, I've been running synaptic as "sudo synaptic" and this is the first
time I've got that message.  I used to do "synaptic-pkexec" but it would ask
me for my password each time I ran it, whereas with sudo if I ran it from
the same terminal again within a few minutes, my previous authentication was
good enough.
