    I just wanted to confirm the behaviour Quim reported for sid als also happening with sarge/testing. It happens about once every five runs.
    I also got the impression that gnome-apt is more likely to crash when
    the 'rebuilding' dialog has the focus.

    I don't see it at all, regardless of focus or number of runs. It might
    have something to do with that I'm running on powerpc whereas you people
    are in i386.

    The followup report focus thing is also a bit suspicious, as is the
    backtrace. I'm inclined to think there is a weird interaction between
    gnome (UI), libapt, threading and signals. It would be useful if others
    could reproduce this, and if someone who sees it can make a debug build of libapt and get a backtrace when run with that.
