The following terms blank the package list
xserver-xo

Thank you for reporting this bug. I can confirm this behaviour on an up-to-date Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 install.
I can confirm that this happens always when you're typing the letters in the third part of a package name with at least two hyphens in it.
