Package: synaptic Version: 0.57.9 Followup-For: Bug #285338 Here's a backtrace obtained on the first machine I tried to reproduce this on, with the first package I tried (base-config). This also reproduced with the 2 other packages no more in testing/unstable I tried this with. On the other hand, I failed to reproduce this on my Sarge box in similar cases. Perhaps there's one yet unknown factor for this bug to happen.
