FW: "The crash belongs to a package that is not installed." ???

[Obiora Okwudili]

It may be connected to system dependencies, I know ubuntu (much the same as many linux hybrids) depends extensively on uniformity / compatibility of it's daemons - right? - may be wrong; although there are many solutions to one problem made more the case by third party developers and their tweaks.. 
 
Not sure, may be vetted by concensus on one of these threads or something...
