first "precise" i386 crash after having installed the available packages. Then this crash happen when i want to open Settings->Repo into synaptic: the dialog box dont open but get this crash.
TEST CASE:
1. Run the latest development release
2. Edit the file /usr/share/python-apt/templates/Ubuntu.info and delete all the sections with and entry "ParentSuite=Precise"
3. Open a terminal and run the following command
$ software-properties-gtk
EXPECTED RESULT
The application starts correctly.
Ideally it should display a message indicating that the repository information for the current release is out of date.
CURRENT RESULT
Traceback (most recent call last):
