I'm having a similar - probably the same - problem. Synaptic crashes with "Aborted (core dumped)". However, apt-get update / apt-get upgrade works and upgrades packages ok.
Crash reports fail mostly, too - inviting me to submit a crash report on the crash reporter crashing (which, naturally, also crashes). I'm having trouble capturing the full output from running synaptic with strace ( using '>filename 2>&1' or with 'strace -o filename'), so i'm attaching two files to this report. synaptic-strace1.txt is the captured output from strace. synaptic-strace2.txt is the last part of the screen output from running 'strace synaptic > synaptic-strace1.txt 2>&1' - it starts at an arbitrary point and i hope it starts early enough to be some use. ** Attachment added: "strace output from synaptic crash" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24907146/synaptic-strace1.txt -- crash while updating 9.04 BETA, not possible to send a report... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353710 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
