Bug Description
Binary package hint: synaptic
A malformed/lacking entry in sources.list causes:
- A bombardment of (expected) error messages upon synaptic startup, and
- A segfault/crash when a "Reload" (apt update) is attempted.
Relevant console output is minimal:
"Segmentation fault (core dumped)"
The line that, specifically, causes the issue for me is as follows:
deb http://
This line is admittedly incorrect, but that's no excuse for a segmentation fault! To reproduce the bug, simply add that to your sources.list, fire up synaptic, get past the error messages, and click "Reload".
Let me know if more info is needed.
