Public bug reported:
While running a purging script to remove unused package configuration
information from the system '''
sudo apt-get purge $(dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/ { print $2 }')
'''
there was a crash that automatically triggered the production and submittal of
the attached files.
If run separately:
'''
username@hostname:~$ sudo apt-get purge nvidia-331
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
nvidia-331*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 110 not upgraded.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.

This probably has to do with the fact that I have the system currently
configured to run additional nvidia driver version 340.
Running ''' apt-cache show nvidia-331'''
returns (clipped out tailing PCI info for brevity):

Description: NVIDIA binary driver - version 331.38
The binary driver provide optimized hardware acceleration of OpenGL
applications via a direct-rendering X Server. AGP, PCIe, SLI, TV-out
and flat panel displays are also supported.
.
This package also includes the source for building the kernel module
required by the Xorg driver, and provides NVIDIA's implementation of
the Video Decode and presentation API. The latter enables acceleration
for GeForce 8 and later series cards for h264 video.
