I see you were also concerned about other crasher bugs being "hidden", but according to Martin those bug reports have useless stacktraces anyway. Maybe the stacktrace is useless, but the number of such crashes might be important too (Synaptic has been crashing like that for some time now), or maybe there is a reason why the stacktraces are like that? > > Seems like something is wrong with the retrace service, and I wonder how > > many legitimate crasher bugs have been invalidated because of this? > > I really hope not too many other packages are impacted, and I think it > > might be useful to have a look at the invalidated bugs reported against > > those packages... > Apport consistently rejected at least crasher bugs in kdebluetooth4, > which was crashing on suspend/resume.

I was already suspecting something like that, but Synaptic doesn't use "|". I think in this case the problem is that rarian-compat "replaces", "conflicts" & "provides" the scrollkeeper package, while synaptic has a dependency on scrollkeeper, and ubuntu-desktop has a dependency on rarian-compat. -- Jan Claeys -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
