System corrupted, then repaired

Very strange story: today, my device went unstable after I updated or installed some apps (see below). Symptoms: (i) screen rotation caused sometimes system reboot and/or lipstick restart, (ii) tapping on Sailfish-weather lockscreen widget to display 5-day forecast crashed lipstick, (iii) many web sites (not only well-known gazzetta.it & Co) crashed sailfish-browser.

Recently installed or updated apps were: Storeman, Prepatch, Applock, Mashka, YTplayer (fork).

What I did to fix the problem: (i) pkcon refresh + pkcon update, (ii) disabled all patches, (iii) reboot, (iv) version --dup, (v) reboot, (vi) re-enabled same patches as before, (vii) reboot = system now OK.

Please consider that I'm not accusing any of the apps above. I just want to describe an unexplained issue and its unexplained workaround. Not sure of which action above fixed the issue. Curious to learn if anyone else experienced something similar.
