Comment 6 for bug 282748

Not at current. It seems like ocassionally, the status or statoveride files get corrupted by updating the package list and the only way to fix it is to perform the work around mentioned above. It would be nice if synaptic/update-manager performed the corrective action when this or dpkg --configure -a need to be run instad of segfaulting or displaying a cryptic error message which I know comes from dpkg or apt and not the front ends.
