I get the same crash as you when navigating to /var/lib/ with gksudo nautilus and then trying to view the properties of clamav.

It hangs for ~1-3 seconds then crashes.

octoquad@ugqa:~$ gksudo nautilus
Nautilus-Share-Message: Called "net usershare info" but it failed: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error No such file or directory
Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing.

Interesting thing is, the above error message is related to samba. I installed the samba package, restarted and now the above message does not show, however the crash still occurs with:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007ffff3b298f3 in _IO_vfprintf_internal (s=s@entry=0x7fffffffe070, format=<optimized out>, format@entry=0x4f4401 "%s\n%s", ap=ap@entry=0x7fffffffe1e8) at vfprintf.c:1661
1661 vfprintf.c: No such file or directory.

There are quite a few reports regarding this specific segmentation fault, but with different scenarios.

I think there is enough information to work on this, however we need to now check if this is downstream or upstream issue. I'll check with another distro and see if I can reproduce this.

Thanks
