Comment 3 for bug 859785

I believe I'm seeing the same issue: ubuntu 10.04 64bit

Synaptic will consistently crash immediately after I type the second letter in the quick search box. Started synaptic from the command line to get some more info - nothing is output - it just dies.

Interestingly I recently upgraded recoll (which relies on xapian as well) and saw strange issues with indexing - so I had to go back to an older version. I had to upgrade xapian in the process so perhaps this is related - I can't seem to be able to downgrade xapian.
