Using version 0.6.4-1.2 I could not reproduce this bug using your instructions -- at the point where I press `F10' and select `Views/Packages' I am returned to the existing Packages view without experiencing the crash. Can you still reproduce this bug using the latest version? Note: the commit history shows some changes to the archive formating since this bug report in Jun 2009, but no specific mention of fixing a crash. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
