Bug 86174 – gnome-extra/evolution-data-server crash with exchange calendar

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jason Haruska 2005-03-21 13:09:33 UTC]

This happened after a glibc upgrade to 2.3.4.20041102-r1. It was resolved by applying this patch from the ximian-connector dev group: http://bugzilla.ximian.com/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=13397

Could someone add this to the 1.0.3 ebuild? I just put the following src_unpack function in mine:

src_unpack() {
    unpack ${A}
    cd ${S}
    epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PV}-exchange_crash.patch
}

with the patch being at ${FILESDIR}/${PV}-exchange_crash.patch

does this still happen with 1.2.1 ?

[Comment 7 Nir Dremer 2005-09-07 05:04:03 UTC]

i dont think anyone interested in this bug anymore ;-)

[Comment 8 Jason Haruska 2005-09-07 05:09:49 UTC]

Maybe not... I do not use the software anymore so I'm no longer patching it on
my personal machine.

There was a null pointer, which was fixed by giving the 2 vars in the patch a
default value. Shouldn't be hard to put into the build but if nobody is having
the issue...

[Comment 9 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) 2005-09-28 11:51:17 UTC]

newer versions out, reporter doesn't use anymore, not reproducible.

I have encountered similar problems with the following packages:

gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-1.4.2.1
gnome-extra/evolution-exchange-2.4.2
mail-client/evolution-2.4.2.1

I made a new patch for evolution-data-server-1.4.2.1 which does the same as the previous patch 1.0.4 and also made a new ebuild. After making a local evolution-data-server, the problem was solved!

So up until now, this bug should be re-opened until this patch as been incorporated in portage.

This patch only sets two initial heap variables to zero. I would strongly advise to include this patch to portage (evolution-exchange is not used a lot that's why this is probably not noted a lot).
