looks like a unique stack trace. Marking as NEW.
Looks like a bug in e-d-s
Can the reporter please get back to us with the timezone information being used in his/her evolution ? This bug is similar to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318104 The reporter may also want look at the last few comments of the above bug.
My Timezone is Asia/Makassar (GMT +8) I cannot tell if my problem is the same as 318104, since I don't have the same Timezone and I didn't try to change the timezone. I'll try some of the case on 318104 as soon as I get to the troubled machine (which is at my office, and today is Saturday here :)
Okay, I've tried to open up evolution and here's the result: Evolution crashes everytime I click to open up Calendars and Tasks I probably should add that I'm using NTP. I've changed my Timezone to Asia/Singapore and later on Asia/Hongkong. I restart Evolution (even the machine) but it seems that the problem still exists, the clock applet still crash and so is Calendars and Tasks. So, I guess it is not the same case. If I'm not mistaken, this problem doesn't exist at first or few days after I install FC4, because I remember clicking it once, quite a long time ago. Maybe there's a conflict or something with some software I installed later. I'll try to do a fresh install and recheck it.
thanx .. will look into it soon
i see that in recent evolution, Makassar's timezone information is missing. If you have chenged the timezone (system's) using NTP.. that doesn't effect evolution in setting its own timezone. anyway a patch will be soon updated here to fix this problem. thanx again.
any updates on this?
reassigning chakravarthi's bugs to avoid rotting.
Evolution 2.7.3: "Asia/Makassar" can be chosen as evolution's timezone, but it is not included in http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/libical/zoneinfo/Asia/ - it has been removed, see http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/libical/zoneinfo/Asia/Makassar.ics , perhaps we should re-add it to CVS. chen, comments? changing my evolution time zone to "Asia/Makassar" immediately crashes the gnome-panel and Evolution here: Backtrace was generated from '/opt/gnome/libexec/evolution-2.8' Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

Chen? Ping!?
Bumping version to a stable release.
Last trace is from evo 2.7.3 Could you please check if this is still an issue with the latest stable release (2.22.x)? Evolution now uses system timezone information. So, missing timezone ICS files should no longer be an issue.
Closing this bug report as no further information has been provided. Please feel free to reopen this bug if you can provide the information asked for with current version 2.24.1 Thanks!
