Comment:

 Thanks for opening this, @onnimonni!

 It looks like your custom install script is now correctly adding an empty
 array to the `wp_inactive_widgets` key for the `sidebars_widgets` option.

 My initial thought is that this notice should not be fixed. This notice
 indicates that something has removed that index from the array (or has
 never set it) and is causing a problem. Also, this was only occurring
 because your custom installer was not initializing the
 `wp_inactive_widgets` index and not due to a bug in core.

 Marking as a close candidate pending a second opinion.
