Bug in 10.04

Just got this when shutting down Synaptic Package Manager. Didn't notice anything strange happen other than the stop sign coming up though...

I got this bug this morning while installing updates

I saw this error report shortly after using synaptic to install Flash (non-free). All else working normally.

hi i just by hit by the bug by synaptic

after updates, and install a py tool (docky) all via synaptic

after the this came the next crash gdu... but it calls: The problem cannot be reported:

The program crashed on an assertion failure, but the message could not be retrieved. Apport does not support reporting these crashes.

and, plymouth crashes allso - the message ist: This problem was already reported in the bug report displayed in the web browser. Please check if you can add any further information that might be helpful for the developers.

Same for me here, I ignored this way to long. It occours when Synaptic is opened.

Thanks for advises.
I am sorry that i hsve not answered before but my pc crashed and it
seems to take a lot off time before i can make a new one.

I was trying to drag an e-mail to a different folder (in Thunderbird) when the error message popped up. T'bird was not affected.
