Synaptic crashes if you press the "Delete" button in the repositories editor

[Vlad Orlov]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Make sure software-properties-gtk isn't installed, or Synaptic won't launch its internal repositories editor.
2. Run Synaptic and proceed to the repo editor (Settings -> Repositories).
3. Select any repo and press the "Delete" button.
4. Get segfault:

(synaptic:2278): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_list_store_get_value: assertion 'iter_is_valid (iter, list_store)' failed

(synaptic:2278): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.38.1/./gobject/gtype.c:4215: type id '0' is invalid

(synaptic:2278): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: can't peek value table for type '<invalid>' which is not currently referenced
Segmentation fault

The bug is reproducible in Ubuntu 13.10 and Mint 16. I'm pretty sure Ubuntu 13.04 and Mint 15 are affected too.

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

Still not fixed?
Synaptic's development disappoints me more and more. I think we'll have to keep 0.75 in Mint 17 if no one is gonna do anything about the bugs.

Cool, fixed in Debian. Now when will this fix get into Ubuntu Trusty?

[Vlad Orlov (monsta)]

Ok, Synaptic 0.81.1 is in Trusty, so this bug is fixed.
