Description Cyril Levet 2018-03-12 20:38:24 CET
Description of problem:

When creating the first email account using Evolution assistant, it segfault at the end of the procedure. It is impossible to restart evolution after that because it segfault at startup. 

Tests have been made with Mageia 6 in Virtual Box (Windows 7 Host and Mageia 6 Host) with IMAP+ account and Microsoft Exchange account using evolution-ews package. Evolution crashes each time.

Remove all hidden evolution files with (in the home directory) : "find *. -name evolution -exec rm -rf {} +" solves the problem. However each time you try to recreate an account, evolution crashes.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

evolution-3.22.6-2.mga6

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Evolution for the first name
2. Create an account with Evolution assistant (IMAP+ for example)
3. When Evolution crashes with a segfault, try to relaunch it.

Comment 1 Aurelien Oudelet 2020-08-16 16:30:32 CEST
Mageia 6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-09-30. It is no longer 
maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug 
fix updates.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan 
to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to 
a later Mageia version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we 
weren't able to fix it before Mageia 6's end of life. If you are able to 
reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click 
on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent
Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them
obsolete.

If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the
packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you 
most [2].
