Description Dennis Lubert 2005-09-06 15:33:53 UTC

Hi, after upgrade from beta3 to beta4 evolution crashes right away, here is the
relevant gdb output:

(gdb) r

It looks like screen is 0 to me...

Comment 1 Michael Gross 2005-09-06 19:41:46 UTC

Sorry, but this is not a blocker (most people will not update from b3 to b4).

To get this working, please get sure that not only the program itself, but all
the relevant libraries are updated as well (libgnome, glib, gtk+, ...) this
might be the result of an invalid linking.

You might also provide the output of ltrace and/or strace to track down the problem.

Comment 2 Dennis Lubert 2005-09-06 20:30:41 UTC

Ok, I have checked all the stuff the evolution binary is directly linked to, and
it looks like I have updated all. I use apt to update my system and it couldnt
find any newer packages as well. Maybe b4 has some packages with the same
version but different files ? dunno. at least, in case you want to re-check:

I will try to put a strace and ltrace as an attachment if you want to look further.

Created attachment 48996 [details]
ltrace of evolution on my system

Comment 4 Dennis Lubert 2005-09-06 20:37:21 UTC

Created attachment 48997 [details]
and the strace (sometimes ltrace -S does not seem to get everything...)

Comment 5 Harish Krishnaswamy 2005-09-08 09:55:51 UTC

Unable to replicate this. This is more likely an issue of invalid linking on
your machine. Can you do a clean-reinstall of the gnome libraries and check this
again?
The YaST updates seem to work fine. Not sure if the apt packages differ.

Comment 6 Dennis Lubert 2005-09-08 11:08:09 UTC

Ok, I have checked the installed packages with rpm -V, nothing wrong. I have
even reinstalled some (btw. the apt packages are just symbolic links to the
normal suse packages) and still no change.
If some libraries are wrong, then they will surely differ on your and on mine
system, so it would be nice if you could run:

md5sum $(ldd $(ldd $(ldd /opt/gnome/bin/evolution | cut -d">" -f2 | cut -d"("
-f1 | sort | uniq) | cut -d">" -f2 | cut -d"(" -f1 | sort | uniq | cut -d":"
-f1) | cut -d">" -f2 | cut -d"(" -f1 | cut -d":" -f1 | sed 's/ //g' | sort | uniq) 

(I think 2 additional levels of ldd are enough to get all relevant libraries)

and post the resulting md5sums so I can check them with the ones installed on my
system

Comment 7 Dennis Lubert 2005-09-08 22:45:41 UTC

Ok, now that there is RC1, the bug does not exist anymore, evolution starts up.
(but also in the new version there is not the good old summary screen *sniff*)
Now that I can try it, it has a bug in displaying imap boxes, bug for that I
will open another bug when I have more information, thanx for trying to help guys
