I had this problem on a fresh install of 16.04, displaying back to a 12.04 
machine.
I saw the crashes when trying to start either of emacs or synaptic.

An strace of the synaptic run showed it failing to find and load 
libGLX_indirect.so.0.
apt-file pointed me at this library existing on the system in 
/usr/lib/nvidia-361/libGLX_indirect.so.0 (as a symlink to 
libGLX_nvidia.so.361.42, which definintely does exist.)

So I added /usr/lib/nvidia-361 into the local shell's LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and it both emacs and synaptic started working fine.

Moreover, it still worked fine when I unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Even after
I rebooted. Not sure how it's remembering this. ld.so.cache is still
timestamped a few hours before these experiments.
