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might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system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

whoopsie version 0.1.18 required, but 0.1.19 is available
outdated debug symbol package for whoopsie: package version 0.1.19 dbgsym version 0.1.18

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!

This occurred after tonight's updates and re-boot. Had tried to launch ubuntu-tweak when whoopsie crashed.

This one crashed a while after coming out of suspend, the lid had been closed for a couple of hours.

just happened with all updates installed.

( no new updates with sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.)

pc still running which is good. hopefully no updates that will make systems unusable.

actually just had one, but it was because amd/ati radeon binary driver was installed manually. fixed by promptly reinstalling with --force
