Description Olivier Berger 2011-04-16 21:46:54 UTC 
Hi.

Upon startup, here's what I get :

$ LANG=C evolution 

Migrating cached data
Migrating config data
Migrating local user data
  mv /home/olivier/.evolution/mail/vfolder/folders.db /home/olivier/.local/share/evolution/mail/vfolder/folders.db
  FAILED: Destination file already exists
  rmdir /home/olivier/.evolution/mail/vfolder
  FAILED: Directory not empty (contents follows)
          folders.db
  rmdir /home/olivier/.evolution/tasks
  FAILED: Directory not empty (contents follows)
          tasks
  rmdir /home/olivier/.evolution/mail
  FAILED: Directory not empty (contents follows)
          vfolder

It seems, that migration from previous Evolution version wasn't completed properly.

See more details in Debian bug report : #623040 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=623040)

According to the error message, your vfolder/folders.db has already been migrated.  The migration logic does not overwrite new files with old ones, which is why it refused to copy it.  You can just delete your ~/.evolution directory.

Uh... I believe something didn't work though, which led to the situation of having .evolution/mail/vfolder copied/moved, but only partially.

So, I beg you pardon, but there's obviously a bug in evolution, here. Maybe not in the current situation, but in what lead to it.

I'm closing this, vfolders do not use db summary for some time now.
