All seems well here;  Synaptic functions normally with Debian
testing/KDE.  Last updated this afternoon.

Me too, amd64, and kernel 4.7.0.1 doesn't boot. Not the greatest of

Thanks Floris, but python-apt was not the fix. :(
I think Synaptic would be a good bet for the most liable to break app in 
Debian's repos, the number of bugs filed against it are huge.
But like you say, it will be fixed soon. :)

Joe, I now have that kernel "4.7.0-1-amd64" on 5 systems and no problem 
with the kernel here, just Synaptic.

Everybody's installation is different... 4.6.0.1 boots OK, the new
4.7.0.1 didn't (4.7.2-1 I think), doing some kind of segfault. But I
cleared the cache recently so I don't have the .deb of the previous
4.7.0.1. I'll try again in a couple of days.

Running sid, the update blew me up twice. I'm a certified install demon 
as of this weekend. I pinned the kernel until the smoke clears. I kept 
getting grub filesystem errors after the kernel update. . :( Ric

I've had a few more goes, sometimes it boots, sometimes it doesn't, but
I can't get enough evidence for a bug report. It may well have nothing
to do with the kernel itself, but 4.6.0.1 seems to boot consistently.

If you run sid, always keep at least one older kernel installed...

Thanks Brad for letting me know that testing was okay, one of my 5 
Sid/Testing systems was still not upgraded with the bug yet, so I 
removed the Sid repose so it would not get the bug, but the other 4 have 
a broken synaptic, Apt is one of the Sid upgrades and I figure it's the 
culprit.

I'll be careful to watch for the relevant upgrades as they appear in
testing.  Maybe even pin apt & Synaptic for a while.  Like you said in
response to Floris, the list of bugs against Synaptic is huge.   :-|

Here's an update, it seems to be a gtk problem, as the bug effects 
Parole Media Player's menu too.  Sid has "gir1*" and "gtk*" package 
upgrades that Testing does not have and without Synaptic I really don't 
know an easy way to downgrade the packages, outside of downloading the 
packages and using dpkg and I would have to lookup the depends too, 
maybe there is an easier way?  I hope upstream is working on this 
problem, before it hits Testing.

Thanks for keeping us informed.  It's appreciated.

IDK, having never tried, but would adding one of the snapshot repos be
of help?  Maybe that would help with the dependencies.  But otherwise,
yes, it's going to have to be done the 'hard way'   :-(

Do you fellas have 'apt-listbugs' installed? Don't know if it would have
helped in this case, but running SID one should have that package
installed. Lets you know before hand if bugs have been filed - of course
if none have, it's still buyer beware on SID. Hope you all filed bug
reports. ;-D

I'm on testing, so have nothing to report in terms of the issues in this
thread.

Yes, and it didn't. It looks to be affecting a fairly small number of
people, and as I said, it isn't consistent, I don't always get the
segfault listing, sometimes the boot just stops, and the listing
doesn't show any particular process failing. Logging has started, but I
see no kind of 'help, I'm about to crash' messages.

I don't, and even if I did I doubt it would have helped me:  I just
would not have been able to make any connection between the packages
Jimmy refers to and their interaction with Synaptic.

Ah, but that may have just changed.  I've not upgraded the gir*
packages, just in case.

Same here, after running update/upgrade and THEN reading the problems, I 
went for it and rebooted. It blew up REAL GOOD! Ric

Hi Ric, what app's where infected/affected and do you think it was the 
gtk-3 packages? Thanks!

Except for 'gir1.2-gtk-3.0, libgtk-3-0. libgtk-3-bin. libgtk-3-common' 
that one testing system is clean and upgraded and synaptic is still 
okay.  It looks like "gtk-3" is the culprit.  When the other 4 systems 
start behaving okay that 5th system's gtk-3 will be upgraded too.  Those 
4 are the only gtk-3 packages I have on my system and I pinned them, 
like I said everything else is upgraded.
