Package: synaptic
Version: 0.57.11.1+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

This is a fresh install on it's own disk. Synaptic is killing itself on the US repository server not being able to parse its list. Nothing can be downloaded or installed in this condition. I have done nothing that I can think of to cause this, the last automated update appeared to kill synaptic

Version: 0.7.21

The IDs are for a long time now ints instead of short and at
least on all sane architectures (all archs debian supports [0])
these 32bit ints should have enough room for the next years…

The bug was closed with the entry of 0.7.21 into the archive,
which was on the 14. April 2009 with the following changelog:

[Michael Vogt]
[...]
  * [ABI break] use int for the package IDs (thanks to Steve Cotton)
[...]

At this time the bug was still closed from the experimental upload
before - it was just reopened on 17. Dec 2009 without a reason
(or at least i can't find one).

I am therefore closing these buggroup now (again),
but feel free to reopen it if you disagree. :)


Best regards,

David Kalnischkies
