Hi

First off, great job for writing the application! I have been longing for an easy way to install packages on an offline ubuntu PC for a long time. Keryx looks like it should fit that mould perfectly.

I wanted to ask this question on the forums, but after trying to register 4 or 5 times in a row with different usernames, passwords and email addresses and being told "Your details are considered to come from a potential spammer. If you know this is incorrect, please try registering again using a different username or password." I gave up. You might want to look into that...

On to my questions/comments.

I think there might be a bug somewhere. If I run keryx for the first time and create a project the following output at terminal is generated:
"
python keryx.py

    self._colSortFlag[col] = int(not self._colSortFlag[col])
IndexError: list index out of range

"

That IndexError seems like a problem. Also, while it successfully saves some package lists to the lists folder, no lists are displayed in the GUI. Is this the correct behaviour?

I am watching the devolpment of keryx with keen interest; I think it should be a part of the default CD installation for Ubuntu!
