Ok, so there are bugs here all over the place. :) (1) There is an Ubuntu bug related to the packaging of evolution-sharp (libevolution-cil 0.11.1+cvs20060516-0ubuntu) which is a CVS version that only partially supported evolution-data-server 1.8. There is an 0.12.0 release out now which properly supports e-d-s 1.8 and which does not explicitly require evolution 2.8.
(2) evolution-sharp 0.11.1 (and CVS up until 0.12.0) had a bug where it determined the major/minor version of evolution at compile-time, and not at runtime. This means that if you had Evolution 2.8 installed and upgraded to 2.9, evolution-sharp would report the wrong version. 0.12.0 fixes this by no longer depending on evolution. (3) Beagle has a bug in which it determined the major/minor version of evolution at compile-time from evolution-sharp, and not at runtime. This means that even if you somehow fixed evolution-sharp 0.11.1 to work against evo 2.9 and rebuilt it, Beagle would still be broken. (4) And lastly, Beagle has a bug in which this error is fatal to the running of the daemon. It shouldn't be. Ok! So the solution simply is: upgrade evolution-sharp (libevolution- cil on Ubuntu) to 0.12.0, taking care of bug (1). I will make the fixes to Beagle for (4). To maintain compatibility with Evolution 2.4 and 2.6, I'm not going to fix (2) or (3); the old status quo will be "good enough" for older distributions. -- Beagled is crashing on startup, I've got an automatic report https://launchpad.net/bugs/72971 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
