Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

Ran update-manager-text on an ubuntu-server (jaunty beta) install from within screen+ssh, scrolling the through the available updates and reading the changelogs first gives screen corruption and then segfaults. I'll attach screenshots, as it reproduces pretty easily.
