Synaptic Package Manager 0.75.4 has been announced on December 20th, by its author, Michael Vogt, bringing a few updates, fixes and some code cleanup.

Michael Vogt, the lead developer for APT team, for Debian, and a software developer at Canonical, has deemed the Synaptic 0.75.4 package to be unstable, at least for now.

Highlights of Synaptic 0.75.4:

· A potential crash when gtk_pkg_list_iter_children is called on an empty list was fixed; · Remove /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99synaptic directory on purge command (closes: bug #64550); · Some code cleanup; · Fixed build with apt in experimental package; · Updated translations.

Synaptic is a graphical package management program for apt. It provides the same features as the apt-get command-line utility with a GUI front-end based on GTK+. Most importantly, users can install, remove, upgrade and downgrade single and multiple packages.
