evolution-addressbook-export fails with Segmentation fault

[Arian Kuschki]

Binary package hint: evolution

Hi
I upgraded to karmic a couple of days ago.

Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release: 9.10

Since then the evolution-addressbook-export does not work anymore.

evolution:
  Installed: 2.28.0-0ubuntu4
  Candidate: 2.28.0-0ubuntu4
  Version table:
 *** 2.28.0-0ubuntu4 0
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Instead of a dump of all my contacts, when I enter

a ~$ evolution-addressbook-export

I get

(evolution-addressbook-export:12812): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.22.2/gobject/gtype.c:2458: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function

(evolution-addressbook-export:12812): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed

(evolution-addressbook-export:12812): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I have used the export for about a year and never had any problems. I strongly suspect the reason why it does not work anymore is my upgrade to karmic beta. The only other reason I could think of is that I recently removed most gnome programs from my startup script. They are not loaded automatically anymore but they are still installed. Does evolution-addressbook-report depend on anything?

Cheers
Arian

thanks for the report, however the backtrace you attach is missing a few symbols, could you install the libgconf2-4, libebook1.2-9, evolution, libglib2 and libgtk2 dbgsym packages and get a new one? Thanks.

I can confirm this bug. After an upgrade to Karmic evolution-addressbook-export segfaults. However I only see a segfault when calling evolution-addressbook-export with an addressbook parameter.
output:
