Bug Description

I have 64-bit Karmic alpha 4. I start up Computer Janitor. It begins the 'Finding Problems' process. It then hangs. It is entirely reproducible. I cannot get it to

The progress bar at the bottom of the window is animated, indicating that the user interface is still ticking over, but it's stuck in some kind of infinite loop.

apt-get autoremove -s shows 14 packages that are considered removeable, although I'm not sure whether it is correct that they be flagged so.

Can you run this from the command line, and attach any output?

sudo env COMPUTER_JANITOR_DEBUG=yes computer-janitor find

If you can try the version in my PPA as well, that would be great:

The PPA version disabled some of the CJ heuristics, which means the bug isn't triggered, although it is there. (Just for clarification.)
