[Geany] Problems upgrading to 1.22 on Ubuntu 11.10 - with solution

After 1.22 was released, Ubuntu listed it in the daily
'Update'-program. But both 'geany' and 'geany-common' was unchecked in
the list. There seemed to be no way to select them eiter.

Attempting to user 'Synaptic' for updating resulted in Synaptic just
disappearing. /var/log/syslog reported a segfault:

kernel: [92547.705102] synaptic[17090]: segfault at 1 ip
00007f49be683c65 sp 00007fff160b8b00 error 4 in
libc-2.13.so[7f49be63a000+197000]


The only thing that worked was removing geany using the commandline:
'sudo apt-get remove geany geany-plugins geany-common'

After that I could install 'geany' again, though quite a few of the
plug-ins are now gone.
