You saying that you had no issues until you upgraded that package?

I cannot address that package specifically, but I can share tears and
whine with you over the lack of cluefulness about how profiling is
handled.  It not just Linux, but it's worse in Linux than other
Unix/POSIX.  When Project Athena gave us X Windows, there was some
provision to get it right, but that was lost on the distributors (and
evidently on both the GNome developers and the KDE developers), so the
problem is even worse in a GUI environment than pure shell.

I guess the summary report would be:  I have had so many problems with
the distributed profiling that I always discard the .bashrc and
.bash_profile mandated from /etc/skel and install my own .profile
(usually withOUT shell rc).  If they follow the rules, every Bourne
compatible shell will source that when you "log in".  (Definition of
"log in" may still vary, and sadly DOES NOT include logging in to most
graphical desktops.)  With care (and I don't mean much) you can have
C-Shell variants also source $HOME/.profile and safely return to their
expected behavior.

I usually set my default shell to /bin/sh in case the environment goes
multi-platform, but that still does not fix the profiling problems.
