Version: (using KDE 4.3.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Originally reported at https://launchpad.net/bugs/436748 The problem was reported while the user was trying to update a package with KPackageKit. This looks similar to KDE bug 200953, and could possibly be a PolKit-Qt or PolicyKit bug. (Not sure though, which is why I'm reporting here.) #0 0x00db2422 in __kernel_vsyscall () No symbol table info available. #1 0x05e4f4d1 in *__GI_raise (sig=6) at
