Public bug reported:

For some reason, Synaptic (version  0.62.5ubuntu3) has stopped working
on my 64 bits Jaunty laptop.

I tried starting it from the terminal and got this error message :

mar...@diogenes:/var/backups$ sudo synaptic
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Xapian::DatabaseCorruptError'
Aborted

Following different leads on launchpad, I tried the following :

- uninstalling and reinstalling synaptic with apt-get;
- sudo dpkg-reconfigure synaptic
- sudo apt-get check
- sudo apt-get clean
- sudo dpkg --configure -a
- sudo apt-get -f install
- sudo apt-get --reinstall install xauth (and then sudo chown $(echo $USER) 
.Xauthority)


But nothing helped.

I checked on Google for this error, but found nothing...

Any suggestions, apart from re-installing everything?
