GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 467973
Evolution crashes on start - Segmentation fault
Last modified: 2007-08-22 10:54:37 UTC
Steps to reproduce: I am not sure how this problem occurs, but it might be because of an upgrade of Ubuntu, since Evolution is complaining that it can't find '/usr/bin/bogofilter'. $ evolution gives me: --------- Segmentation fault (core dumped) --------- Stack trace: Other information: $ evolution --debug=evodebug.txt gives me this: ----------------- (evolution-2.10:18820): evolution-mail-WARNING **: ignored this junk plugin: not enabled or we have already loaded one (evolution-2.10:18820): e-utils-WARNING **: Plugin 'Spamassassin junk plugin' failed to load hook 'org.gnome.evolution.mail.junk:1.0' ** (evolution-2.10:18820): DEBUG: mailto URL command: evolution %s ** (evolution-2.10:18820): DEBUG: mailto URL program: evolution (evolution-2.10:18820): bf-junk-filter-WARNING **: error occurred while spawning /usr/bin/bogofilter: Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/bogofilter" (No such file or directory) (evolution-2.10:18820): bf-junk-filter-WARNING **: error occurred while spawning /usr/bin/bogofilter: Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/bogofilter" (No such file or directory) (evolution-2.10:18820): bf-junk-filter-WARNING **: error occurred while spawning /usr/bin/bogofilter: Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/bogofilter" (No such file or directory) -----------------
Does evolution depend on "/usr/bin/bogofilter" to run?
Created attachment 93900 [details] Backtrace of the segfault Uploading backtrace of the segfault...
I manually removed all my e-mails from the two most frequent POP3-accounts I am using. I restarted a 2-3 times, both times it crashed right after I think "Saving mailbox 99%" or something thelike was finished. The third time I tried to run Evolution it started up without segmentation fault, but took a very long time to load my inbox-folder (~1500 messages, loading first just 20-30 messages which made me think my mailbox was corrupted). I then received a message that Evolution was unable to lock the inbox-mailbox, probably due to the previous crashes I guess. Evolution now seems to run without problems again, apart from the "Error while Storing folder 'Inbox'. Summary and folder mismatch, even after a sync"-messages I receive every now and then.
BTW, I'm leaving the status of this bug as is as I'm not sure it is relevant anymore or not.
