F-Droid just keeps crashing after update to 0.103

• Device OS and version: Android 4.4.2
• Device model/manufacturer: Samsung Galaxy Note 3
• F-Droid version (in the About screen): 0.103
• F-Droid privileged extension version (if installed):

What did you do? (clear steps if possible)

I update f-droid from about 0.78 to 0.103. When the ap restarted after update it crashed a few seconds after displaying on screen. It asks if I want to send an error report, I cluck Ok my email app opens with the report in it and be for I get a chance to send the email f-droid's crash screen displays again and again and again. I have restarted my phone and f-droid just starts crashing about a minute after startup. I have had to disable f-droid in my system settings as the crash screen is interrupting everything I do.

What did you expect to see?

I expected f-droid to start up without crashing.

What did you see instead?

The f-droid crash screen.

Below is a copy of the crash report sent to my email app:
