The bug is an error object being freed and then accessed when adding a printer. Bug was fixed upstream and patch applied to package.

As a medium-severity bug, this does not make sense to include as a last-minute fix in saucy and should be handled as an SRU instead. Robert, could you please populate this bug report with the necessary SRU information?
