[Bug 395055] [NEW] Synaptic crashes during Installing software

[Fabio B]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nagios3


Description:	Ubuntu 8.10
Release:	8.10
Error message:  Error in package /var/cache/apt/archives/nagios3-common_3.0.2-1ubuntu1.2_all.deb
I expect  normal installation, but there's the "Applying Changes" window freezed so I need to kill the Synaptic processes manually

$ ps -ef | grep nagios
