Ouch. Well, (unfortunately) nothing has changed about gnome-apt in the
last few weeks. So the problem must be some change in one of the
libraries.
If you have symbols for at least the gnome-apt or libapt-pkg portion of
the backtrace, that might help track it down. Send the trace along if you
have it. If you can figure it out and send a fix, that would be very much
appreciated too.
I should be able to return to hacking gnome-apt in only a few more weeks,
then some of this code rot will get turned around.
