Denis, Jonh just said that two comments ago, and the status is Fix Released. Also, I think it is safe to assume that people here know how to use apt.
As for the patch, I agree with Christof here - even if the problem isn't occurring any more, the patch should still be applied, since it would prevent a whole class of possible bugs where the pickle file was corrupted. Is there some reason for not applying the patch, besides the obvious reason that it would be a change to the code? -- Add/Remove programs crashed on Feisty https://launchpad.net/bugs/79619 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
