Bug Description

Binary package hint: synaptic

I was trying to import in ubuntu 10.04 alpha 2 a list of packages coming from a ubuntu 9.10 system.
In Synaptic, I imported the attached file as a selection of packages, corrected the few broken packages, and validated the installation of this selection.

Synaptic crashed before starting the installation.
