It happened in that particular package with that version of Ubuntu. I do many projects - I went back to an earlier version of Ubuntu and installed inkscape - I think the bug was with a 64bit version of Ubuntu.
It was such an odd bug that I thought I'd tell you guys about it. If it works now - if Inkscape traces a line drawing - even ones with lots of black - it's been fixed. You'll have to see the original error report to see what I was running. Memory says that it was a 64 bit version - and probably testing or unstable - I like to test things :-) All the best.
