[Bug 660214] [NEW] Synaptic Package Manager crash after adding [well formed but incorrect] source

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: synaptic

Package: synaptic
Version: 0.62.7

Doing a little testing related to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/660171. At comment 4, it was
asked to add "maverick" to sources.

Due to my poor skills, I opened Synaptic Package Manager, Sources tab
and added the string "deb http://maverick.canonical.com karmic". I
believe the string is well formed but otherwise incorrect.

On Reload, Synaptic Package Manager subsequently crashed. Attempting to
launch Synaptic Package Manager also results in a crash. See attached.

I believe http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/synaptic is the package information.
