Bug Description
Binary package hint: synaptic
I use ubuntu dapper with gnome. After installing today's upgrades (8/19/06), synaptic and Add/Remove Programs no longer worked. I couldn't open synaptic. Add/Remove Programs opened but quit when I tried to install anything.
When I input synaptic into the command line, I got:
synaptic: error while loading shared libraries: libvte.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
However, aptitude still worked. In aptitude, I did some tweaking with libvte-common. I'll attempt to be more specific with what i did, although I'm not completely sure what it was (>_<). Basically, I think I uninstalled the latest version which prompted it to install the previous version (or something like that.)
Here's the aptitude output:

I'm not sure where you have libvte4 0.13.5-0ubuntu2 from. I'm pretty sure that package has never been published for Dapper. Do you have any third party repositories enabled?
