No Synaptic?

**mcwtlg** · February 1st, 2005

Upgraded from warty to hoary the other day, all the upgrades went smoothly, following the http://ubuntuguide.org/ guide. Only thing I can see that is missing or wrong is that Synaptic is gone. Tried to manually download it and got a library missing error (I am sorry I am at work, not at home in front of my Ubuntu box). I cannot recall the error though. I know I tried to install the libraries and balked at that. Apt-get works ok, but Synaptic will not launch.

Any ideas?

This is my sources.list .. not sure what you mean by backported.

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary main restricted

Did you have the backported version in Warty? that might be what causes the problem.
