Title:
The filters file is read by Configuration class (apt-pkg), whose
format is defined in apt.conf(5). Besides being syntactically
incorrect [1] there are other issues that prohibit reliable parsing of
the data.
For example, this pattern from one of the standard filters combines
several
I strongly suggest not to not implement any work-around or extra
precautions in either the GUI or current reader code until the design
issues with the filter file can be looked at.
That should be:

We will not allow newlines in the name filter, see above.
Such characters may still enter the filter file through other means.
This will not resolve the segfault, only reduce the likely-hood of
hitting it.

Just one more question: seems like the issue happens while reading the
filters, and as I can not reproduce it, it might be related to your
filters configuration. Could you please attach the file
$HOME/.synaptic/filters for further investigation?

I had a look at the last log file in /root/.synaptic/log/ whose
modification time matches the filters file, and it said this:

Installed the following packages:
mysql-server (5.1.54-1ubuntu4)
mysql-server-5.1 (5.1.54-1ubuntu4)

Thanks, that helps reproducing, I have managed to do that. However, there is a
strange New Filter 1 in your filters file with the following name filter:
libdbd-mysql-perl (4.016-1)
libdbi-perl (1.612-1)
libhtml-template-perl (2.9-2)
libnet-daemon-perl (0.43-1)
libplrpc-perl (0.2020-2)
Ok, so I removed that filter (using vim) from the filters file, and now
I can run synaptic again - yay!
It was over a year ago when the filter was added, so my memory is very
hazy, but I think it's quite possible that I created that filter. I
probably got the list of names from the dependencies

** Tags added: apport-collected precise
** Description changed:
Not much more to add.. sudo synaptic fails silently after entering my admin
pwd and produces no terminal or other output.
The syslog contains something like:
synaptic[2503]: segfault at 0 ip
Those files are not really helpful. To investigate a segfault we need
the backtrace (stack trace), which you can produce by installing debug
symbols and using gdb if required; see the previous links I posted.

I've attached the .crash file left in /var/crash/ when I just tried `sudo
synaptic`.
I downloaded the syaptic-dbgsym package and apport-retrace to incorporate them
in the .crash file

If you want me to install more debug symbols that's fine. If you
Ok, I extracted just the stacktrace for convenience. For now, that
should be enough to investigate the issue.

I tried again with 12.04.1 and the symptoms persist. The segfault in
syslog from `sudo synaptic` is:

interestingly, `gksu synaptic` exits without produces anything in

I can report that this happens for me, and it doesn't only happen with

be using for graphical apps) and with synaptic-pkexec, which is what we
should be using as it uses the wonderfully fine-grained policykit rather
