I have upgraded my (rooted) OnePlus X phone from Oxygen OS 2.2.x to 3.1.4 (dirty upgrade, from Lollipop to Marshmallow).
Since doing that, the settings view crashed with "Unfortunately, Package installer has stopped" when I try to view the permission details for some apps. For example, when I open try to view the permissions for Hangouts (Settings > Apps > Hangouts > permissions), the above dialog appears and the following output is shown in logcat:

And when I open access Settings > Apps > Gears icon > Access permissions, the Android activity briefly appears and then closes. There is no error dialog, but logcat does show the following error:

Why does this happen, and how can I fix this?
