Title:
  Synaptic Package Manager crash after adding [well formed but
  incorrect] source

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
