You forgot the caveat about me not being a debian user. What is Sid
again exactly? ;-)  OK, according to google, this is unstable.

Well, as I mentioned in the OP, this doesn't seem to strike unstable
users a lot. However, bug 336623 [1] looks like this indeed is an issue
using 2.4.2.1-2.

Besides this, the evolution-plugins issue stands as well. The separate
plugins package isn't updated automatically -- updating manually from
-1.1 to the matching -2 solved this for at least one user on IRC. He was
the first one to find out about this. Previously downgrading glib solved
it for 2 other fellows...

Yeah, a little bit confusing, isn't it?


Anyway, thanks for the follow up and more details on this, Ron. :)  I'd
appreciate it, if debian users could post all relevant information to
come, especially when the fixed packages are out.
