synaptic crashed with SIGSEGV

[Elfy]

Crash whilst trying to access repositories from settings. Not sure if this is tied up with the bug that occurs when reloading sources.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[dino99 (9d9)]

Still that crash with 0.75.5~exp6; not every time, maybe related to ppa resuming (checked wine/virtualbox), on Precise i386, logged as gnome-classic, and nvidia 295

[Tom rooze.sen (tomrooze-sen)]

Synaptic crash. (precise 12.04).

I now Tumbler - Tumbler and libtumbler-common-1-0 removed and my Synaptic crashes anymore.
The Synaptic crash is so the program Tumbler.
Grz Tom.

[dino99 (9d9)]

Only have genuine Precise packages installed here, no tumbler or else, but still crash randomly while resuming update archives.

[Elfy (elfy)]

Updated/closed synaptic.

Seemed to be ok, changed various ppa/ ubuntu repos - reloaded ok - closed.

Added a ppa to sources.list.

Synaptic - updated sources ok.

Trying to edit repos via synaptic crashed software-properties.

[Tom rooze.sen (tomrooze-sen)]

I can install or uninstall any program to test
I can stand here any of the 4 desktops in synaptic clicking the packets to refresh each time and synaptic flash is gone and another crash report.
Is there honestly dead tired, I've never in any Alpha with it.
I have no PPA´s install.

Synaptic crashed again here, right after it finished reloading package info.

Architecture: amd64
Version: 0.75.5~exp6

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

same, it just crashed in a fresh session (maybe triggered by auto update)

[Sam Miller (picaso)]

I can confirm it just crashed on me while I was reloading package info. and the update manager popped up. Can't have two package managers working at the same time.

Probably more likely to have been a dupe of #936677. Fixed now though regardless :)
