Thanks for leting me know. This is clearly a bug. If you use debian,
may I ask you to file a debian bug against synaptic? This way, I will
not forget about it. I can't take care of it right now, but I will
definitly for one of the next versions.
Just copy-n-paste your mail for the bugreport, it has all needed
information :)
thanks,
Michael
