I only had /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.11 on my system, and until I created a symlink (.so.10 -> .so.11) evolution was fubarred. I only _just_ had emerged 1.5.92.1 so it wasn't a case of lib rot. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
For the curious, this is the error I was getting when running from a term: charlie@mightymax core $ evolution-1.5 (evolution-1.5:27008): evolution-shell-WARNING **: Cannot activate 'OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Mail_Component:1.5': g_module_open of `/usr/lib/evolution/1.5/components/libevolution-mail.so' failed with `libgnutls.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory' (evolution-1.5:27008): evolution-shell-WARNING **: Cannot activate 'OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Addressbook_Component:1.5': g_module_open of `/usr/lib/evolution/1.5/components/libevolution-addressbook.so' failed with `libgnutls.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'
Even with the symlinks, the address book doesn't seem to initialize. It no longer gives an error, but there's nothing showing and trying to create a contact is fruitless.
you sure there are no .la files with /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.10 around in your system?
How would I find that out?
fgrep -r libgnutls /usr/lib/*.la
Nope, nothing. I'll attach an strace where you can see something evolution is calling ('ldd evolution-1.5' doesn't show libgnutls.so.10) trying to poen libgnutls.so.10 - perhaps it'll give a hint as to what is doing it. Next step is to go thru each of the ldd results and re-emerging the relevant packages. ;) Anyway, below are the results of the fgrep: root@mightymax ~ # fgrep -r libgnutls /usr/lib/*.la fgrep: /usr/lib/libclanApp.la: No such file or directory fgrep: /usr/lib/libclanCore.la: No such file or directory fgrep: /usr/lib/libclanDisplay.la: No such file or directory fgrep: /usr/lib/libclanGL.la: No such file or directory fgrep: /usr/lib/libclanGUI.la: No such file or directory fgrep: /usr/lib/libclanGUIStyleBoring.la: No such file or directory fgrep: /usr/lib/libclanGUIStyleSilver.la: No such file or directory fgrep: /usr/lib/libclanMikMod.la: No such file or directory fgrep: /usr/lib/libclanNetwork.la: No such file or directory fgrep: /usr/lib/libclanSignals.la: No such file or directory fgrep: /usr/lib/libclanSound.la: No such file or directory fgrep: /usr/lib/libclanVorbis.la: No such file or directory /usr/lib/libegroupwise.la:dependency_libs=' /usr/lib/libgnome-2.la /usr/lib/libesd.la -L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libasound.la /usr/lib/libaudiofile.la /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.la /usr/lib/libgconf-2.la /usr/lib/libbonobo-2.la -lssl -lcrypto -lrt /usr/lib/libbonobo-activation.la /usr/lib/libORBitCosNaming-2.la /usr/lib/libORBit-2.la /usr/lib/libpopt.la /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la -ldl /usr/lib/libsoup-2.2.la /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.la /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.la /usr/lib/libgnutls.la /usr/lib/libgcrypt.la -lnsl /usr/lib/libgpg-error.la /usr/lib/libxml2.la -lpthread -lz -lm /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la' /usr/lib/libgnutls-extra.la:# libgnutls-extra.la - a libtool library file /usr/lib/libgnutls-extra.la:dlname='libgnutls-extra.so.11' /usr/lib/libgnutls-extra.la:library_names='libgnutls-extra.so.11.1.17 libgnutls-extra.so.11 libgnutls-extra.so' /usr/lib/libgnutls-extra.la:old_library='libgnutls-extra.a' /usr/lib/libgnutls-extra.la:dependency_libs=' -L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libopencdk.la /usr/lib/libgcrypt.la /usr/lib/liblzo.la /usr/lib/libgnutls.la /usr/lib/libgcrypt.la -lnsl /usr/lib/libgpg-error.la -lz' /usr/lib/libgnutls-extra.la:# Version information for libgnutls-extra. /usr/lib/libgnutls-openssl.la:# libgnutls-openssl.la - a libtool library file /usr/lib/libgnutls-openssl.la:dlname='libgnutls-openssl.so.11' /usr/lib/libgnutls-openssl.la:library_names='libgnutls-openssl.so.11.1.17 libgnutls-openssl.so.11 libgnutls-openssl.so' /usr/lib/libgnutls-openssl.la:old_library='libgnutls-openssl.a' /usr/lib/libgnutls-openssl.la:dependency_libs=' /usr/lib/libgnutls.la /usr/lib/libgcrypt.la -lnsl /usr/lib/libgpg-error.la -lz' /usr/lib/libgnutls-openssl.la:# Version information for libgnutls-openssl. /usr/lib/libgnutls.la:# libgnutls.la - a libtool library file /usr/lib/libgnutls.la:dlname='libgnutls.so.11' /usr/lib/libgnutls.la:library_names='libgnutls.so.11.1.17 libgnutls.so.11 libgnutls.so' /usr/lib/libgnutls.la:old_library='libgnutls.a' /usr/lib/libgnutls.la:# Version information for libgnutls. /usr/lib/libloudmouth-1.la:dependency_libs=' /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la -L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libgnutls.la -lz /usr/lib/libgcrypt.la -lnsl /usr/lib/libgpg-error.la' /usr/lib/libsoup-2.2.la:dependency_libs=' /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.la /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.la /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la /usr/lib/libxml2.la -lpthread -lm -L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libgnutls.la -lz /usr/lib/libgcrypt.la -lnsl /usr/lib/libgpg-error.la'
Created attachment 37069 [details] An strace output of evolution-1.5
the strace doesn't mean anything to me. but there's something in yoru system that depends on libgnutls.so.10, and it isn't evolution. i've got 1.5.x running fine on my box and i only have: liquidx@blueberry /usr/lib/evolution/1.5 $ ls -l /usr/lib/libgnutls.so* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Aug 4 18:18 /usr/lib/libgnutls.so -> libgnutls.so.11.1.17 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Aug 4 18:18 /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.11 -> libgnutls.so.11.1.17 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 457760 Aug 4 18:18 /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.11.1.17
That's the same as my system. Anyway, I decided a little spring cleaning was in order and removed a few duplicated packages and went for a revdep-rebuild, which I think shows the problem as libloudmouth: broken /usr/lib/libloudmouth-1.so.0.0.0 (requires libgnutls.so.10) The only other thing to complain 'bout libgnutls.so.10 was Gossip, and I'm 100% certain that Evolution does not use Gossip. Anyway... rebuilding overnight. I'll revisit this tomorrow.
Hah! Now I'm suffering from Bug 59814 !!! The answer to this problem was to 'revdep-rebuild'. Don't know what that makes the bug resolution.
revdep-rebuild was indeed the answer...
