[Marc Deslauriers]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

** Visibility changed to: Public

** This bug is no longer flagged as a security vulnerability

Title:
  Synaptic freezes when I select a package to install and scroll through
  list of dependencies

Status in “synaptic” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: synaptic

  Whenever I select a package to install which requires multiple other
  packages (e.g. KOffice or k3b on Ubuntu) and the dialogue pops up
  asking about all the extra packages to install, when I scroll through
  the list in the dialogue, Synaptic suddenly freezes. Then it's
  impossible to even force-quit (via system-monitor, or otherwise),
  because synaptic is no longer on the list of processes. So the only
  thing to do it to restart the system.

  1) Release: 11.04 64bit
  2) Synaptic version: 0.75.1ubuntu2
