uhm, right, brainfart. i did apt-cache policy packagename instead of apt-cache policy gnome-panel which was probably what I should have done.
right, the info I got was this: gnome-panel: Installed: 1:2.28.0-0ubuntu6 Candidate: 1:2.28.0-0ubuntu6 Version table: *** 1:2.28.0-0ubuntu6 0 500 http://no.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status -- gnome-panel crashed with SIGSEGV in IA__gtk_widget_show() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/473387 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
