Synaptic Crashes when changing fonts

Thanks for your bugreport.

Can you please create a backtrace for me? Run in a terminal:
$ sudo gdb synaptic
(gdb) run
[make it crash]
(gdb) backtrace

and paste the result to this bugreport?

Thanks,
 Michael

BTW, is the 64 bit version of Kubuntu 6.10

I can confirm the problem here now and will attach a fix.

Hi Matt, hi Colin,

I would like to ask for permission for a edgy-updates upload of
synaptic. The changelog:

+synaptic (0.57.11ubuntu12.1) edgy-proposed; urgency=low
+
+ * gtk/rgmainwindow.cc:
+ - fix crash in "Lock package" (lp: 64005)
+ * gtk/rgpreferenceswindow.cc:
+ - add default font to fix crash (lp: 65553)
+
+ -- Michael Vogt <email address hidden> Mon, 23 Oct 2006 16:12:55 +0200

The debdiff is here:
http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo/tmp/synaptic_0.57.11ubuntu12.1.debdiff

Both fixes are for crashers and are straightforward/trivial.

Thanks,
 Michael

P.S. I hope sending a mail is appropriate

Please avoid regenerating autotools files in an update like this. Actual
code changes are OK for -proposed.
