Re: [Evolution] kernel 2.5 and evolution

[Mika Liljeberg <mika liljeberg welho com>]

By the way, your patch is included in Debian unstable
[liborbit0-0.5.17-5]:


--- orbit-0.5.17.orig/src/IIOP/connection.c
+++ orbit-0.5.17/src/IIOP/connection.c
@@ -459,6 +459,7 @@
     fd_cnx->u.usock.sun_family = AF_UNIX;
     getpeername(GIOP_CONNECTION_GET_FD(fd_cnx),
        (struct sockaddr *)&fd_cnx->u.usock, &n);
+    fd_cnx->u.usock.sun_path[0] = '\0';
     break;

 #ifdef HAVE_IPV6

It may not be the correct fix but at least it solves the immediate
problem.

Cheers,
