Bug Description
Whenever I press the ENTER key in synaptic to launch a package search, the application crashes immmediately.
When I start synaptic from the command line, I get this after every crash:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
More details can be found from dmesg, which prints the same two lines for each crash:

It looks like the crash is caused by the Erlang PPA. As long as I keep it disabled, search works perfectly.
