Re: [Evolution] migration from Evo 1.4?

[Frank Lynch <frank iona com>]

Hi Guys,
I just attempted the upgrade with a snapshot via red-carpet, and I got
the following failure:

[frank flynch ~]$ evolution-1.5 --force-migrate
asked to activate component_id
`OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Addressbook_Component:1.5'
addressbook_migrate (1.4.0)
evolution-1.5: relocation error:
/usr/lib/evolution/1.5/components/libevolution-addressbook.so: undefined
symbol: e_book_open

I assume that theres a problem with this snapshot? Should I download the
sources and build from them? 
any other suggestions?
thanks
--Frank
