Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-app-install

Crash has happened three times.
It might be similar to Bug #332769
It appears to happen after adding/removing software.

I'm browsing through the listing on the right side of the add/remove applications window and when I click on the left window to change to a new category the program freezes for a few moments and then the "Application Problems" window pops up.
I click the "Report Problem..." button and get the "Problem in gnome-app-install" message saying the problem can't be reported due to obsolete package versions.
This is a fresh install of Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 Beta (date = 2009-03-27) on a new hard drive, so any obsolete packages came with the install itself.
