(evolution:9694): libecal-WARNING **: e_cal_client_new: Failed to run calendar factory: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Calendar1: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process /usr/lib64/e-calendar-factory exited with status 127

(evolution:9694): calendar-modules-CRITICAL **: e_task_shell_sidebar_add_source: assertion `client != NULL' failed

Thanks for a bug report. The issue is obviously with e-calendar-factory closing itself unexpectedly. Could you run it from console and get a backtrace or console prints, to see why it exited, please?

*** Bug 659232 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I tried the debug - but it requires that I load a bung of debug packages - and I don't want to muddy up my system with so much debug stuff.

I have attached the console prints to the previous bug marked as duplicate of this one 659232 (above)  . . .

Thanks for a bug report. This is why it is crashing:
> /usr/lib64/e-calendar-factory: undefined symbol: g_unix_signal_add_watch_full
and it's fixed already [1]. I suppose your build doesn't have that fix included as this is included in 3.1.91 release.

[1] bug #657836
