Locking a application in Synaptic Package Manager causes it to crash

[xstaticxgpx]

Selecting a installed application in your Synaptic Package Manager and then going to "Package" and selecting "Lock Version" will cause it to crash.

With what version of Synaptic/Ubuntu is this? I cannot reproduce this on Edgy... Can you please try to rebuild synaptic and get a backtrace of the crash by following http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash ? Does it happen with any installed package or with some of them? Thanks for reporting this.

Synaptic 0.57.8 / Ubuntu 6.10 Beta - I got this from gdm

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

0x000000000045452f in std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >::basic_string<char*> ()

if this helps, I couldn't successfully create a backtrace, which I tried attaching gdm to the already running process, when it crashed gdm returned "Program Exited Normally"

Does that happen for any installed application? I can't unfortunately reproduce it here :/

Can you please run:
$ sudo gdb synaptic
(gdb) run
[make it crash]
(gdb) backtrace

and attach the backtrace here?

Thanks,
 Michael
