As we see, I do have apt-pkg headers installed, but configure's checking halts because the filee in question "cannot be compiled". checking apt-pkg/configuration.h usability... no checking apt-pkg/configuration.h presence... yes configure: WARNING: apt-pkg/configuration.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: apt-pkg/configuration.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? configure: WARNING: apt-pkg/configuration.h: see the Autoconf documentation configure: WARNING: apt-pkg/configuration.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" configure: WARNING: apt-pkg/configuration.h: proceeding with the compiler's result checking for apt-pkg/configuration.h... no configure: error: You need the apt-pkg headers installed to compile synaptic.

Did you install the libapt-pkg-dev package?

olavgun commented 5 years ago

Yes. apt-pkg/configuration.h is present. And that is because is installed from the libapt-pkg-dev package. The folder /usr/include/apt-pkg is there, full of header-files.

How are you trying to compile it?
