Once the UVF exception (bug 63545) is granted, this upload will fix it:

 glom (1.1.3-0ubuntu1) edgy; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release:
     - Added Add Related Table item to the Tables menu. This is a time-saving
       feature to quickly create a related table and a relationship to it, and
       is a first step to implementing further refactoring functionality.
     - Creating from examples: Correct a problem that could lead to Glom not
       using all the rows of example data.
   * debian/control:
     - glom has strictly versioned dependency on libglom0 (Malone: #60969).

Uploaded. Thanks for the bug report.

reopening this as the necessary versioned dependency on libglom has disappeared from recent packages

New version of glom upload which addresses this issue. See Bug 216308 .

This bug was fixed in the package glom - 1.6.14-0ubuntu1

---------------
glom (1.6.14-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
    - Fixes a crash that happens when adding a record without a primary key
      (LP: #216308).
  * debian/control:
    - Update glom so that it depends on the version of libglom0 built from the
      same source package (LP: #60969).
