aMule now throws up errors and locks up

[Fester Bestertester]

Upgrade 15.10 to 16.04 went smoothly enough, but aMule now throws up errors: Processing public key and signature packets. If dialog promptly dismissed, app keeps working. Otherwise, full system lockup until a timeout of some sort and app closes releasing system. Weird!
Meanwhile, using emule by wine - not good just upgraded ssl and ssh but no change. (amd64)
