Bug 52606 – Libbonobo-2.6.2 and libbonoboui-2.6.1 break evolution.

• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tamran Lengyel 2004-05-31 11:40:27 UTC]

Emerge -UD world upgraded these two packages and evolution quit working.  I tried recompiling evolution but still no go.  Upon downgrading these packages everything worked fine again.  This happend to me once before on an x86 system as well.  There perhaps is something else required to recompile, but I couldn't figure it out.

I have ~amd64 in my keywords an have masked these two packages.

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade the two packages
2. Witness the carnage
3. Downgrade the package
4. Relax with email

Actual Results:  
All was good again.

[Comment 1 Malcolm Lashley (RETIRED) 2004-05-31 11:56:07 UTC]

The evolution-1.4.6 error at startup is:

Cannot activate component OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Mail_ShellComponent :
The error from the activation system is:
Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/INV_OBJREF:1.0'

The culprit appears to be libbonobo2.6.2.

bonobo2.6.2 / bonoboui2.6.1 = error as above.
bonobo2.6.0 / bonoboui2.6.1 = no problemo.

[Comment 2 Kristian 2004-05-31 13:29:04 UTC]

same here, reemerging libbonobo-2.6.0 fixed it

[Comment 3 Travis Tilley (RETIRED) 2004-05-31 21:00:36 UTC]

i've marked 2.6.2 -amd64. does this problem exist on other archs?

[Comment 4 Tamran Lengyel 2004-05-31 21:03:20 UTC]

Yes, it exists on x86, as Kristian also had the same problems.

[Comment 5 Bryan Forbes 2004-06-01 22:17:04 UTC]

This also happens on ppc as well.

[Comment 6 Derek Dolney 2004-06-02 08:28:42 UTC]

libbonobo-2.6.2 also breaks ggv (on x86):

(ggv:9654): GGV-WARNING **: Could not get GGV control: 'Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/INV_OBJREF:1.0''

[Comment 7 Benjamin Coles 2004-06-02 22:32:42 UTC]

Bug filed in wrong place

[Comment 8 foser (RETIRED) 2004-06-03 03:03:56 UTC]

lv : you are eagerly fast to mark something -amd64 that is there for testing, without much more than one single report for that arch with gcc-3.4 & new compiler opts in CFLAGS.

The only thing i can find about this exception is that removing /tmp/orbit-* dirs and restarting the session might fix it.

[Comment 9 Derek Dolney 2004-06-03 07:34:20 UTC]

foser's tip works for me. I reninstalled libbonobo-2.6.2, logged out, removed /tmp/orbit-* stuff, and logged back in and bonobo stuff seems to work fine again (including ggv).

[Comment 10 Stefano Torresi 2004-08-02 05:46:15 UTC]

the orbit trick worked to me too

[Comment 11 foser (RETIRED) 2004-08-02 07:39:12 UTC]

don't think we can do much about it and it only rarely pops up, so i'm closing this.
