adept updater crashes if packages are not found in the repository

Binary package hint: adept-updater

I have a reproducable crash of Adept Updater on my computer. It happens after clicking 'Apply updates'. It is probably related to a broken mirror. This is what apt-get dist-upgrade says:

Adept 3.0 in Intrepid handles 404 errors much better.
