Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate a useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:

outdated debug symbol package for libnih1: package version 1.0.3-4ubuntu15 dbgsym version 1.0.3-4ubuntu11
outdated debug symbol package for libudev0: package version 175-0ubuntu17 dbgsym version 175-0ubuntu13
outdated debug symbol package for udev: package version 175-0ubuntu17 dbgsym version 175-0ubuntu13
outdated debug symbol package for libp11-kit0: package version 0.14-1 dbgsym version 0.13-1
outdated debug symbol package for libprocps0: package version 1:3.3.3-2ubuntu5 dbgsym version 1:3.3.3-2ubuntu3
outdated debug symbol package for upower: package version 0.9.19-1ubuntu1 dbgsym version 0.9.17-1build1
outdated debug symbol package for procps: package version 1:3.3.3-2ubuntu5 dbgsym version 1:3.3.3-2ubuntu3

outdated debug symbol package for libnih-dbus1: package version 1.0.3-4ubuntu15 dbgsym version 1.0.3-4ubuntu11

Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions. If you still
encounter the crash, please file a new report.
