Here is what i have to do to make synaptic crashing: 1. update package list 2. installing pstoedit and prelink (plus dependencies) 3. installing one package
running synaptic || echo "bug" in the shell resluts in bug, so the return value is not 0. I have reproduced the same behaviour several times. It seems that synaptic sometimes get confused after changing (it does not matter whether installing or removing them) several packages at the same time (it crashes either right after step 2 or at the latest after step 3). It seems as if apt-get does not behave like this. For me, synaptic behaves like this since the version before 0.57.8. I don't know which one that was. btw: The textfield which contains the warning is writabel. This is another output synaptic generates in the shell: (synaptic:5179): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_tree_view_unref_tree_helper: assertion `node != NULL' failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
