Crashed on installation though Synaptic (trying to get Creative Live Cam Optia working) Ubuntu 8.10

[Chris D. A. Snell (alohahala)]

This would seem to be the same problem that I encountered when trying to install "Ekiga-gtkonly" package on the Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepit amd64.

ekiga-gtkonly has been dropped in jaunty.
