window-stack-bridge crashed with SIGABRT in QMessageLogger::fatal()

[Thomas A. F. Thorne]

After powering on my PC and logging in I was presented with two automated error reporting windows. The first led me to +bug1748844 the second prompted me to create a new error reporting message. By the time this second report happened I had Google Chrome and Synergy running.

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might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system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:

no debug symbol package found for debianutils
no debug symbol package found for perl-base
no debug symbol package found for debianutils
no debug symbol package found for perl-base

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!

The problem happened again this morning.

As requested above I have filed a new report at #1756835. Hopefully this will include more useful diagnostic information.

[Thomas A. F. Thorne (tafthorne)]

Changing report to Public so that others can see it.

Would +bug1756835 work better as a link?
