Yes, looks like a bug. See my post in reply to Mathieu.

This is really wired. I can't reproduce that synaptic exits. If I add
a new uri to my source.list, I get a warning at startup, but synaptic
keeps working:

"Couldn't stat source package list http://marillat.free.fr
unstable/main Packages
(/var/lib/apt/lists/marillat.free.fr_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages)
- stat (2 No such file or directory)"

How do you trigger the bug? Please give me a exact description so that
I can reproduce it.

thanks, 
 Michael
