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? ** Affects: synaptic (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Synaptic won't start, report "Xapian::DatabaseCorruptError" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
