Bug Description
For some reason, Synaptic (version 0.62.5ubuntu3) has stopped working on my 64 bits Jaunty laptop.
I tried starting it from the terminal and got this error message :
martin@
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Xapian:
Aborted
Following different leads on launchpad, I tried the following :
- uninstalling and reinstalling synaptic with apt-get;
- sudo dpkg-reconfigure synaptic
- sudo apt-get check
- sudo apt-get clean
- sudo dpkg --configure -a
- sudo apt-get -f install
- sudo apt-get --reinstall install xauth (and then sudo chown $(echo $USER) .Xauthority)
But nothing helped.
I checked on Google for this error, but found nothing...
Any suggestions, apart from re-installing everything?
Well, I also tried to install something from the add/remove panel (which seemed to work), but it does not work anymore, not even for uninstalling something....
I think the problem started after I forced Gnome to shut down (ctrl+alt+ backspace) , while synaptic was open.
I guess I'll have to reinstall everything in a couple of days...
