software shutdown?

Ubuntu Feisty Fawn

All of a sudden, (even after rebooting) synaptic and add/remove are both opening, but shut down a second later. Not sure why.

The logs show this:

May 3 01:26:21 Secured dhcdbd: dhco_input_option: Value -1 cannot be converted to type L

May 3 01:26:21 Secured dhcdbd: dhco_parse_option_settings: bad option setting: new_dhcp_lease_time = -1

Have you tried to reboot the system?

A segmentation fault *can* be an indication of a hardware problem (maybe hard drive failure or something like that).

From first post, first sentence

"even after rebooting"
