Synaptic does not start - works after changing accessibility settings

[Syed Rakib Al Hasan]

Ubuntu release 11.10

$ apt-cache policy synaptic

sudo synaptic command is supposed to open synaptic

here is the what happened:
my synaptic kept crashing.
When i opened it from launcher or terminal, synaptic window flashes for less than a second and then goes away.

Here is the terminal output which i got:
$ sudo synaptic
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
  what(): vector::_M_range_check
$

fixed by changing accessibility settings: as described here
I was able to fix this problem on my system by opening Universal Access, enabling then disabling the screen reader, then opening Synaptic again.
