synaptic crashed with SIGSEGV

[Diego Schulz]

Synaptic crashes frequently while or right after reloading package information (by pressing the Reload button).
It doesn't happen all the times. At times it just works ok, but sometimes it crashes and I need to go to the console and run apt-get update to get the packages info updated.

I think this problem started after the last updates to libc6.
