What were you doing when the application crashed?
Nothing.  I was just starting evolution and it crashed immediately.  I tried several times, aways with the same result: evolution crashing immediately :(

Comment 1 Dietrich Bollmann 2009-04-01 04:54:26 UTC
Hi,

googling for "evolution crash" [past 24 hours]
( http://www.google.com/search?q=evolution+crash&as_qdr=d ) 
revealed that I am not the only one :)

I found my problem related to the bug report
"Debian Bug report logs - #521862, evolution: Segmentation fault on startup"
( http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=521862 )
and could solve my problem by following the following advice:

Here what I did in detail (hope this helps others with the same problem):

  wget http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/sqlite3/libsqlite3-0_3.5.9-6_i386.deb
  
  dpkg -i libsqlite3-0_3.5.9-6_i386.deb
