Bug 262182 – mail-client/mail-notification-5.4 causes evolution-2.24 to crash

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Pacho Ramos 2009-03-11 19:41:25 UTC]

It's important fix this quickly as users upgrading from evolution-2.22 to 2.24 will get their evolution crashing at startup if they have this plugin enabled, this has been already sent to ubuntu, fedora and mandriva:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mail-notification/+bug/251031
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=464779

I am using fedora patch and it's working fine

Thanks a lot

I don't know much about this stuff, but eds is now at 2.24.5. Changing the version number in the patch file appropriately got it working for me. Thanks!

[Comment 3 Pacho Ramos 2009-03-30 10:12:28 UTC]

Patch is working fine for me and fixing the crash since I sent it here. I know that probably you are too busy but, maybe, somebody else could get this in as I think it's severe enough.

Thanks a lot

[Comment 4 Hans de Graaff 2009-03-30 18:14:44 UTC]

The patch as-is won't work because evolution-data-server is a moving target. Instead I've fixed this unconditionally, and mail-notification-5.4-r1 now depends on evolution 2.24. This combination should work as expected.

I'd appreciate some feedback on whether this version fixes things as expected. Getting feedback will help to stabilize this sooner than the normal 4 weeks.

Pacho, thanks for reporting and digging up the original patch.

[Comment 5 David Krider 2009-03-31 10:09:55 UTC]

Working here... Thanks for fixing this up!

[Comment 6 Pacho Ramos 2009-04-01 06:37:18 UTC]

Thanks a lot, I will update as soon as possible for me (I am a bit busy in real life just now)
