nig_free? THat's not an upstream symbol. Please file a bug against Ubuntu.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[alex_b (barth-alexander)]

I am still having this bug. I do not think that it is actually a duplicate of bug #1342586 since the later one is fixed.
