Description Imtiaz Rahi 2006-12-11 07:52:21 EST

Description of problem:
Synaptic crashes when started. Previously it was working but after I have
updated few packages it does not work now.
even installed updated syanaptic package from extras, but no joy.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.57.2-5.2


How reproducible:
Just start synaptic from console or from menu entry.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start synaptic from menu entry.
2. Provide root password in password box.
3.
  
Actual results:
When run from console by typing 'synaptic'. After providing root password,
window shows up and immediately crashes. On console I found this line showing up
every time.

(synaptic:9609): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_hide: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET
(widget)' failed

The number beside "(synaptic:" is different sometimes.

Expected results:


Additional info:
Also, attaching the gdb backtrace in a text file.

Comment 2 Axel Thimm 2006-12-11 10:40:04 EST

Can you try using apt instead of synaptic? The backtrace looks very much like it
is libapt related and if apt fails in a similar manner, then you may be seeing a
duplicate of bug #211254

Comment 3 Imtiaz Rahi 2006-12-11 13:02:39 EST

Hi Axel,
You are right. I ran 'apt-get update' and it segfaulted.
I was using "apt-0.5.15lorg3.2-8.fc6".
Then I went back to "apt-0.5.15lorg3.2-7.fc6" and apt segfaulted.
Its very strange, this version of apt was working ok previously.

Here is the backtrace:
