evolution crashed with signal 5 in camel_pop3_delete_old()

[Niels Abspoel]

Binary package hint: evolution

Just logged in gnome, start evolution, it showed gui, but only reading maps, and then crashed.

couldn't kill evolution process anymore, and restart showed evolution crashed, and can't repare or ignore,

so evolution won't start that session.

Thanks for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513502

[Niels Abspoel (aboe)]

new update from evolution-webcal 2.13.90-0ubuntu1 fixed the problem.

I can now open evolution again, and work with it.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

That's probably because now gnome-session isn't enabling the G_DEBUG=fatal-criticals variable, try running evolution as G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals and you should get the crash again, thanks.

[Niels Abspoel (aboe)]

Pedro you are right:
aboe@desktop:~$ G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals evolution
evolution-shell-Message: Killing old version of evolution-data-server...

camel-CRITICAL **: camel_object_is: assertion `o != NULL' failed
aborting...
Traceer/breekpunt-instructie (core dumped)

so the bug isn't fixed.

still happening in intrepid

evolution-2.23.4-0ubuntu1
