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might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system

the issue there is due to nautilus-dropbox, if you have it installed you should uninstall it and nautilus will work correctly

This was a bug in glib that got fixed in the mean time.
