update-notifier crashed with SIGSEGV

[Matthias Gehre]

On every reboot, I get this message ("update-notifier crashed") after login into the unity session.
I don't see any other symptoms.

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might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system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outdated debug symbol package for libudev1: package version 198-0ubuntu11.1 dbgsym version 198-0ubuntu11

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

Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience!

I don't understand the reason for this being marked "invalid".
I have libudev1 of current version. 'dpkg -l libudev1' shows:

ii libudev1:amd64 198-0ubuntu11.1 amd64 libudev shared library

And I do not have any dbgsym packages installed.

Why am I unable to report this bug? What can I do to fix this?

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

For whatever reason, the retracer server did not have access to the dbgsym package for libudev1 198-0ubuntu11.1. While it's theoretically possible to get those symbols and retrace the crash, it will be a low priority to do this manually. And without a valid stack retrace, this bug will not be actionable.
