I can confirm the problem you describe; Evolution used to _not_ track its bugs with bugzilla.gnome.org . That may be the reason you could not send in Evolution reports to bugzilla.gnome.org . However Evolution recently moved to b.g.o. so I confirm this bug.

This occurred for me this morning as well.
It is indeed caused by moving Evolution from bugzilla.ximian.com to bugzilla.gnome.org. Evolution specified that it has its bugs at bugzilla.ximian.com, so bug-buddy complains it can't find it. Evolution was the only program specifying the bugzilla installation. Newer Evolutions (only after the move) do not specify the bugzilla locations. Not really a bug-buddy bug. Workaround would be nice, but don't know how.. problem is that Evolution specifies b.x.c and it isn't there anymore.
So is this something that distros could fix, at least until Evolution fixes itself?
Evolution has fixed it, you just need a newer version to see it. oh. hrm.. I was told it was done, but checking the file in CVS, seems it is *not* the case. anyway from the .desktop file the following line should be removed: X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Bugzilla=Ximian I'll file an Evolution bug for the .desktop file.
Bugreport for the .desktop file is bug 307176

We can't fix this in bug-buddy, but it has been fixed in Evolution. Marking this one WONTFIX, just cause we can't fix it for the old non-working Evolution versions (it is more CANTFIX). Suggest everyone seeing this to get a newer Evolution version.
