Package: evolution Version: 3.12.9~git20141130.241663-1+b1 Severity: important
Evolution launches normally but if the user takes any action that would result in displaying an email, the it segfaults with the error : (evolution:14698): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion 'object->ref_count > 0' failed /var/log/syslog contains messages like : kernel: [22296.533558] evolution[14698]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fb52d12450a sp 00007fffe8f79b20 error 4 in libgobject-2.0.so.0.4906.0[7fb52d116000+51000] The problem was caused by libglib2.0 being pulled in from testing somehow, apt tooling could not detect or correct the problem because it did not recognize the conflict with evolution. Problem was solved by running dpkg -i manually on : libglib2.0-0_2.48.0-1~bpo8+1_amd64.deb libglib2.0-bin_2.48.0-1~bpo8+1_amd64.deb libglib2.0-dev_2.48.0-1~bpo8+1_amd64.deb -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.5 APT prefers testing APT policy: (1000, 'testing'), (990, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (100, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages evolution depends on: ii dbus 1.8.20-0+deb8u1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.56 ii evolution-common 3.12.9~git20141130.241663-1 ii evolution-data-server 3.12.9~git20141128.5242b0-2+deb8u2 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.12.0-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.14.0-1 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u4 ii libcamel-1.2-49 3.12.9~git20141128.5242b0-2+deb8u2 ii libclutter-gtk-1.0-0 1.6.0-1 ii libecal-1.2-16 3.12.9~git20141128.5242b0-2+deb8u2 ii libedataserver-1.2-18 3.12.9~git20141128.5242b0-2+deb8u2 ii libevolution 3.12.9~git20141130.241663-1+b1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.49.6-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.14.5-1+deb8u1 ii libical1a 1.0-1.3 ii libnotify4 0.7.6-2 ii libsoup2.4-1 2.48.0-1 ii libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 2.4.11-1~bpo8+1 ii libxml2 2.9.1+dfsg1-5+deb8u2 ii psmisc 22.21-2 Versions of packages evolution recommends: ii bogofilter 1.2.4+dfsg1-3+deb8u1 ii evolution-plugins 3.12.9~git20141130.241663-1+b1 ii yelp 3.14.1-1 Versions of packages evolution suggests: pn evolution-ews <none> pn evolution-plugins-experimental <none> ii gnupg 1.4.18-7+deb8u2 ii network-manager 0.9.10.0-7 -- debconf information: evolution/kill_processes: evolution/needs_shutdown:
