Please retry with a supported version.  Either 2.24 or 2.25.
Comment 2 Mario 2008-12-27 07:44:42 UTC
My evolution software is part of the OpenSuSe 10.2 Linux distribution and I cannot install another version from there. I found on yi=our site that I can download source packages, but I would prefer not to recompile manually.


However I investigated further the problem and I found that:

a) Probably it was caused by the kill of an evolution process that seemed to be stuck.


b) I found that a Trash file in my evolution directory as follows:

Trash1.ev-summary.meta: ???Linux-ubsu

c) I could not find other Trash folders


My question is:

since the evolution software does not seem to handle thsi situation , can I do some manual action to solve the problem (e.g. can I delete and recreate the Trash folder?

Thank tou and best regards
