Bug 332637 – mail-client/evolution-2.30.2-r1 crash on exchange send

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Nikolai 2010-08-13 16:17:15 UTC]

evolution (evolution-2.30.2-r1) disappears with no further message from the screen when sending a message in an exchange account (evolution-exchange-2.30.2).

evolution --debug=FILE does not give any info either.

steps to reproduce:
open evolution, enter new message in exchange account, click "send"
or
click "send and receive" when a exchange message is left in the outbox.

in the last version of evolution existed a use flag "exchange" for mail-client/evolution
that use flag does not seem to exist anymore?
evolution-exchange is installed in world no

Please test on a new created user account and, if still valid, try to get a proper backtrace:

Does it mean gnome-extra/evolution-exchange is installed or not? Thanks a lot for clarifying :-)

:) well yes, it is installed.
only now it is manually emerged, i.e. it is in world.
before it came as a dependency via use flag 'exchange' 

[Comment 5 Nikolai 2010-08-15 11:28:48 UTC]

yes, it also happens on a freshly created user account
pls find the shell output of the evolution session attached 
(there is a NULL parent window mentioned...)

will try to get that backtrace too...

gdb backtrace

here is a gdb backtrace.
is this what you had in mind?

for backtracing i had evolution and evolution-exchange recompiled with 
CFLAGS="-ggdb -O1" and FEATURES="nostrip"
however, most symbols on the call stack are still unnamed.

Please give instructions on what else to recompile with debug if you need a better call stack.

[Comment 8 Pacho Ramos 2010-08-20 16:08:47 UTC]

You will probably need to re-emerge evolution, evolution-data-server and evolution-exchange to prevent that missing debug symbols :-/

better gdb backtrace

the backtrace looks better now, with also evolution-data-server rebuild with debug options.

[Comment 10 Pacho Ramos 2010-08-31 15:19:10 UTC]

Seems that you should also install dev-libs/glib with debug symbols. Also install gnome-extra/bug-buddy as it will get the trace and send to an upstream bug

+*evolution-exchange-2.30.3 (13 Sep 2010)

+  13 Sep 2010; Pacho Ramos <[e-mail]>
+  +evolution-exchange-2.30.3.ebuild:
+  Version bump: Memory leaks with Evolution and crash in

Feel free to reopen if still valid with 2.30.3
