Re: [Evolution] evolution 2.2 crashes

[Jason Chagas <jchagas verizon net>]

It looks to me this is a completely different problem than the patch is
intended to fix. You might want try posting the question to a Debian
mailing list (see http://lists.debian.org/).

Please note, you may also want to
replace /var/cache/apt/archives/libgal2.4-0_2.4.2-1_i386.deb with the
new version or Synaptic will restore the other version every time you
update the system.
