Missing "quick filter" #36

Open trebmuh opened 5 years ago

trebmuh commented 5 years ago

Yesterday, I've installed a Debian Buster for testing purpose. Synaptic version is 0.84.5 .

I've installed then the apt-xapian-index (version 0.49) which I expected would bring the "quick search" box like it did on Stretch. Unfortunately, it doesn't. Even after a reboot.

Two questions: has anything changed? can you reproduce this?

trebmuh commented 5 years ago

I found this bug on the BTS and I applied the command: /usr/sbin/synaptic -o Debug::Synaptic::Xapian=true as advised, and now it works.

That's a bit strange from an user point of view. Any idea on how to do so auto-magically?

@fakhamatia I never has this problem. In Linux Mint it's enabled by default in synaptic Now I'm running synaptic on Debian buster and I install apt-xapian-index package, Synaptic running with Quick search enabled.

@muzena I install apt-xapian-index and its working.
