Adept crashes when uninstalling packages installed by dpkg -i

[Michael Gefen]

Binary package hint: adept-manager

after installing a package using "dpkg -i" it appears in the adept manager package list.
trying to uninstall it using adept manage, will successfully uninstall the package, but adept manager will crash.

Thanks for your collaboration. Unfortunately your report is not complete and I'm unable to reproduce your problem. We need information about version of Kubuntu affected and if possible the specific packages that cause crash when they were removed.
Thanks.

currently i was unable to reproduce the bug myself.
i will digg into it and try to find a way to reproduce it.

reproduce:
it seems that the crash happens when installing packages generated by checkinstall (sample package attached)
and installed using dpkg -i

removal of the package using dpkg -r works.

[Michael Gefen (gefenm11)]

this is the original source.

the package is generated by running "sudo checkinstall" in the software folder

in order to get the crash using the DEB provided in earlier post:
1. install the deb using dpkg -i
2. start adept-manager
3. in the search box of adept manaer type mac-3
it will show in the list only the software that we are about to remove.
4. rightclick on it and select request removal
5. click Apply Changes
6. watch Adept Manager getting SIGSEGV signal after the uninstall was completed

The crash looks like reproducible. Could you provide a backtrace? Please refer to this for more details

Thanks again.

[Michael Gefen (gefenm11)]

while installing the packages needed for providing a backtrace i had to enable the prereleased updates option, because i had to update adept-manager (and other parts of adept as well) to version 2.1.2ubuntu26.2 from 2.1.2ubuntu26.1
as a result of the update the bug stopped appearing.

so i'm unable to provide the backtrace now.

Fixed by an update.
