The package that's been broken (libvte) has came from a 3rd party repository (one of the compiz ones), not from Ubuntu, so no it's not a ubuntu bug.
libvte is the embedded terminal used in synaptic/gnome-terminal and others. ** Changed in: synaptic (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: synaptic => vte -- synaptic doesn't work; aptitude does https://launchpad.net/bugs/56877 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
