Still crash on Precise i386 logged as gnome-classic

Thanks for your updates. Please make sure that you use "0.75.5" in precise, it got synced on sunday so it may not be available on your mirror yet but it is there on archive.ubuntu.com. Its most likely a dupe of bug #936677.

[dino99 (9d9)]

Thanks Michael

just installed the latest 0.75.5 and i've not got new crash then, but as it was random crashes previously, so i'm waiting a while before confirming it really fix also #936677. Will report back later for confirmation.

[dino99 (9d9)]

#6 follow up:
- synaptic does not crash anymore: have tested many times with/without additional ppas, and the list is updated quickly
- so it really seems a dupe of bug #936677
- also confirm by users: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1923788&page=2

Fixed here.

[glenn opdycke-hansen (glenn.op)]
