What changed between Trusty and Utopic to cause the clock to crash? I have 'gnome-panel' running in multiple Precise and Trusty machines using 'indicator-applet' and gnome-panel-clock rather than using 'indicator-applet-complete' and I've never had the clock applet crash in Trusty or Precise.

If it must stay this way it's not a huge deal because the work around(s) are fairly simple. I say multiple because the first assumes the user already installed 'gnome-panel' including all of 'evolution*' in which case the user can just purge all the unwanted 'evolution*' packages except 'evolution-common'. The second is simply to install 'evolution-common' using the "--no-install-recommends" option before installing 'gnome-panel'.

I originally suspected that Edubuntu was going to release a Utopic version so they'd have to presumably rebuild in such a manner as to not ship both thunderbird and evolution but I now understand that Edubuntu may be releasing only LTS builds going forward so they'd have time to sort that out before 16.04 lands in the distant future.

If you plan on not fixing this I'd prefer you mark it Won't fix rather than Invalid. Like I said I've never had the clock crash w/o evolution installed, is there a bug report regarding such a crash?
