heresv@boopH:~$ synaptic
synaptic: error while loading shared libraries: libept.so.1.aptpkg4.16:  cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
edit add: not shy to reinstall to see if that works. Is noticed on alternate jessie system if without root terminal call synaptic a window appears granting user access without privelege, close that, then resized small window opens synaptic. The flashing window in VSIDO synaptic that vanishes is also resize small.
