[SOLVED] Evolution segfaults with last 64bit update

** (evolution:8561): DEBUG: mailto URL command: evolution %s
** (evolution:8561): DEBUG: mailto URL program: evolution
Segmentation fault

If I start it with --disable-eplugin everything is back (except that I can't make backup since backup is one of the plugins).

Vanilla install, everything worked so far.

Re: [SOLVED] Evolution segfaults with last 64bit update

Update: when i start evolution --offline I don't have to turn off plugins. When app runs and I switch evolution to online work, everything works fine.

File a bug report (with backtrace if you can). Segfaults are usually application bugs.

Re: [SOLVED] Evolution segfaults with last 64bit update

Problem confirmed on several more computer.
After several start attempts anyway Evolution 2.24.4-1 manages to start an work properly afterwards. However, starting Evolution is a real pain.
Switching back to previous version didn't solved the problem (Evolution as well as Evolution-Data-Server2.24.3-1 )!!! So it might be an interaction problem with other updated software.

Created bug report: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13302

You can also confirm it there with your architecture and dmesg, I am not sure if this is only 64bit problem.

Re: [SOLVED] Evolution segfaults with last 64bit update

Seems to be fixed with the latest update of libxml2.

I spoke too soon - when I delete a mail (sometimes) I'm still getting the segfault - I haven't had time to fully analyze this but it seems to be HTML mail, not plain text; anyone else?
