evolution-3.8.1-1 not starting after upgrading gnome from 3.6.2 to 3.8

Hello community,

after updating Gnome to 3.8.1 yesterday, Evolution is not starting. In Terminal i get this output:

 (evolution:969): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_param_spec_internal: assertion `!(flags & G_PARAM_STATIC_NAME) || is_canonical (name)' failed
Naruszenie ochrony pamięci (core dumped) 

any ideas, if it has to do with gnome 3.8?

Try create a new user and see if you can open evolution there

It's not only evolution fault. It's fucked up gnome 3.8 eg. gnome-control-center + try add google account in online accounts. Same shit. I've try to create new user and this error appear all the time.

I've got this bug too.
Probably it's related to Polish (or foreign) language.

If I run

LC_ALL=C evolution

from Terminal everything works fine (but the program is in English of course).

Got the same problem. I miss the good old days when Gnome was synonymous with stability...

It's a WebKit bug. There is a fix: FS#34926
