Public bug reported: After updating from quantal to raring I have many entries in the "Not installed (residual config)" filter of the "Status" view.
Every time I click into the right hand side panel to perform an action on these entries (normally I purge them), the synaptic window closes, and the following line is appended syslog and is visible via dmesg. The following are from three separate events: [ 566.351105] synaptic[4156]: segfault at 7fc4a0455000 ip 00007fbe77867994 sp 00007fff761e7350 error 4 in libapt- pkg.so.4.12.0[7fbe777f8000+11c000] [ 1428.291993] synaptic[4404]: segfault at 7fede23ea000 ip 00007fe7b3b6a994 sp 00007fffa8548c40 error 4 in libapt- pkg.so.4.12.0[7fe7b3afb000+11c000] [ 240.860559] synaptic[5889]: segfault at 7ff6eed85000 ip 00007ff0c0d06994 sp 00007fffcf4ac6f0 error 4 in libapt- pkg.so.4.12.0[7ff0c0c97000+11c000] ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: synaptic 0.80~exp1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-15.25-generic 3.8.4 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-15-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDmesg.txt: [ 18.208621] init: gdm main process (1562) killed by TERM signal [ 44.350434] systemd-logind[2610]: New seat seat0.
