Bug Description
Precise -64-bit
Synaptic version: 0.75.5~exp6
My synaptic crashes every time I reload. I have 228 repositories, sometimes more. Maybe the it overloads somewhere?
This could be the work of some malware, it overloads the program that has sudo privileges and then injects code. Or the overload may cause a security flaw on machines installed with synaptic.
It'll work afterwards when I start it, with the updated database and can install/upgrade fine. I have even un-installed USC (ubuntu software center) from my computer to see if there was conflict between the programs. The crash still happens. This started since the ~exp versions came into mainstream. Synaptic worked before then on Precise.
