What were you doing when the application crashed? Hi: a friend sent me a list of photos that I tried to open. I opened tha first few of them and then Evolution just crashed on me... I'm sorry but I wasn't able to install those packages you refered to, because I'm a noob to Linux, and can't tell the "fridge from the toaster"... It's a great OS but it's greatly different from whatever I used before...

Thanks for the feedback. :) I believe all these bugs (see the duplicates above) where I referred to the debugging pachages actually are the very same issue, right? At least 2 of them even got a description that I now am able to translate. ;) Anyway, given this nice description, we don't need any more details. This is a known issue, that recently has been fixed. Please feel free to add comments related to this crash directly to this bug, rather than filing a new report. Unfortunately the stacktrace does not have any hints about the real cause of the crash and does not help in debugging this issue. However, according to the description this is the same issue as bug 333864, which is fixed in Evolution 2.8.1.1. Just in case you can reproduce this crash later, please consider installing debugging packages [1], which help a lot in tracking down the crash. Thanks! Also, please feel free to report any further bugs you find. Thanks! [1] debugging packages for evolution, evolution-data-server and gtkhtml, plus debugging packages for some basic GNOME libs.
