The same problem also occurs in Linux Mint 13 Maya, Cinnamon edition
64-bit, and Xubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin 64-bit. I do believe that the
problem also occurred in Xubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot 64-bit because I
had the same problems using synaptic right after I had installed
Xubuntu.
To reproduce the problem, one can make a fresh installation of one of
the distributions mentioned, with the Norwegian Language Pack (Norsk
Bokmål) on a computer. Then start Synaptic, and for example make an
attempt to uninstall Libre Office or OpenJDK and IcedTea. When you click
the "Apply"-button ("Bruk"), this will result in Synaptic terminating
unexpectedly, with no tasks being performed. If Synaptic was started
from a terminal emulator, one would get some output. (I am unable to
reproduce the output now, as I have had a large headache getting my
distro configured the way I want it, and I don't want to mess things up
now.)
The problem will not occur when using english language pack (en_US).
Bug #787173 has some similarities as the cause in that case is also
related to the Norwegian language pack (nb_NO). But I do not think it's
quite the same bug, because the program does not perform the same task
when it crashes in that case.
