Created attachment 326554 [details] Dependencies file (This was file in launchpad on 8 Jan 2016. I have just had a request to re-file it here.) If I have to contacts with the same email address evolution crashes when I add the second one. Specifically: LDAP address book The situation is that these are business contacts where a manager uses his assistant's email address and does not have one of his own. I wish to have the same email address recorded for both people. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS Release: 14.04 Evolution 3.10.4 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: evolution 3.10.4-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-57.77~14.04.1-generic 3.16.7-ckt20 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-57-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.19 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Fri Jan 8 11:53:01 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-06-03 (218 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 14.04.2 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20150218.1) SourcePackage: evolution UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) LANGUAGE=en_GB:en LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=en_GB.UTF-8 TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LC_ADDRESS=en_GB.UTF-8 XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LC_TELEPHONE=en_GB.UTF-8 LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash LC_NAME=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=en_GB.UTF-8
Thanks for a bug report. The 3.10.x is ancient, it's like 5 years ago. It's too long for upstream. There is also needed a backtrace of the crash to analyse where exactly it crashed. If I'd guess, then I say it's related to bug #707121, but without the backtrace...
