• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Quentin Retornaz 2021-05-30 00:05:24 UTC]

This happens at runtime.
I also tried to downgrade evolution and evolution-data-server to 3.38.4 but the issue is still there.
When I  open Evolution, it starts on Inbox with an email selected, and the error is shown.
When trying to open the e-mail in another window, the error is still showing.
When selecting another e-mail, the error is still there too.
It did happen since last Evolution update from 3.38.4 to 3.40.1.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Evolution
2. Select an e-mail
3. Look at the preview pane.
Actual Results:  
The error "Something has gone wrong when displaying the message A WebKitWebProcess crashed when displaying the message. You can try again by moving to another message and back. If the issue persists, please file a bug report in GNOME Gitlab." is shown and e-mail content is not displayed

Expected Results:  
E-mail content is displayed.

Downgrading webkit-gtk from 2.32.1 to 2.30.6 fix the issue with evolution and evolution-data-server version 3.38.4

[Comment 2 Quentin Retornaz 2021-05-30 00:15:38 UTC]

It is also working on evolution and evolution-data-server 3.40.1 with webkit-gtk 2.30.6.

The issue here is webkit-gtk 2.32.1.

[Comment 3 heikki kniivila 2021-06-04 06:48:08 UTC]

Hi, where do i get webkit-gtk 2.30.6 ? It is not available on the default repo.

I have a fresh Gentoo installation that i "started" on june 2nd 2021, and can't compile evolution-data-server-3.40.1

Got the webkit-gtk 2.30.6 but still not working, trying something else later...

[Comment 6 Volkmar Glauche 2021-06-08 11:57:04 UTC]

I can confirm this. When starting evolution from the command line, an additional message is displayed, stating

/usr/libexec/webkit2gtk-4.0/WebKitWebProcess: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

However, ldd /usr/libexec/webkit2gtk-4.0/WebKitWebProcess resolves the correct libstdc++.so.6. Thus, it does not seem to be an issue of linking webkitgtk.

The main culprit seems to be that webkit2gtk now uses bwrap to sandbox the WebKitWebProcess. Running

WEBKIT_FORCE_SANDBOX=0 evolution

disables the sandbox and the messages are displayed.

As a temporary workaround

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/libstdc++.so evolution

fixes this issue. Apparently, this forces bubblewrap to include libstdc++.so in the sandbox.

[Comment 7 Volkmar Glauche 2021-06-08 13:06:23 UTC]

(In reply to Volkmar Glauche from comment #6)

forgot to mention my package versions:
mail-client/evolution-3.38.4
net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.30.6
sys-apps/bubblewrap-0.4.1

[Comment 8 Quentin Retornaz 2021-06-09 21:08:54 UTC]

I did not need to do that with net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.30.6.
Are these advises for 2.32.1?

[Comment 9 Quentin Retornaz 2021-06-13 14:59:28 UTC]

It seems to be fixed in 3.40.2 from what I see in changelog:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/commit/48495ce0143f585def8cb8f0d9fc69bf8cd2c7c6

[Comment 10 Quentin Retornaz 2021-06-13 16:08:10 UTC]

I’ve just tested on evolution 3.40.2 and webkit-gtk 2.32.1 and it works.
