[Synaptic-devel] Crash on broken package dependencies

[Alwin Meschede]

Hi,

Synaptic fell on my feet today, after a forced downgrade of libasound 
had led to broken dependencies. When Synaptic tried to build up a 
dependency tree, a window popped up saying "Ä?ndencies" (complete crap) 
and I could click on "OK". When starting with "LANG=C", the window says 
"(null)". After that, Synaptic crashed and left "Segmentation fault" on 
the console.

The packages in question were libasound (downgraded from 0.98 to 0.96), 
alsa-utils 0.98 and libasound-dev 0.98
