Synaptic crashes when locking version

[Oliver Maunder]

Binary package hint: synaptic

I've compiled my own build of Amarok (to supoprt my MP3 player) and installed it using checkinstall.

Using AMD64 build of Edgy Beta.

I wanted to lock the version in Synaptic to prevent my build being overwritten by official updates.

Here's what I did...

1. I ran synaptic, using "sudo synaptic" in a console window.
2. Clicked the Search button on the toolbar.
3. In the Find window, I typed "amarok". "Look in" was already set to "Name".
4. Clicked Search. Three packages found: amarok, amarok-engines and amarok-xine.

Of these packages, only amarok is installed. The Installed Version is shown as 1.4.3-1. and the Latest Version is 2:1.4.3-0ubuntu9

5. Clicked on the amarok package.
6. Clicked on Lock Version in the Package menu.
7. Synaptic crashed - the window disappeared. The following error messages are shown in the console window:

(synaptic:12342): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_tree_model_get_iter: assertion `GTK_IS_TREE_MODEL (tree_model)' failed

(synaptic:12342): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_tree_model_get: assertion `GTK_IS_TREE_MODEL (tree_model)' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I get the same crash when I try to lock any package, not just amarok.

I can confirm this on AMD64.

[Florent Mertens (givre)]

Same problem with an x86 install.
Seems to not e related to the arch.

+1 for me.

This bug is similar/copy of Bug #63777

[Bruce Cowan (bruce89-deactivatedaccount)]

It is similar to #63777, but this one causes a crash.

Hi Matt, hi Colin,

I would like to ask for permission for a edgy-updates upload of
synaptic. The changelog:

+synaptic (0.57.11ubuntu12.1) edgy-proposed; urgency=low
+
+ * gtk/rgmainwindow.cc:
+ - fix crash in "Lock package" (lp: 64005)
+ * gtk/rgpreferenceswindow.cc:
+ - add default font to fix crash (lp: 65553)
+

The debdiff is here:
http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo/tmp/synaptic_0.57.11ubuntu12.1.debdiff

Both fixes are for crashers and are straightforward/trivial.

Thanks,
 Michael

P.S. I hope sending a mail is appropriate

Please avoid regenerating autotools files in an update like this. Actual
code changes are OK for -proposed.

It's fine.
