        Hi,
was the previous version you made a backup in also 64bit or 32bit? There
are some transitional problems between these two architectures, in both
ways. Probably the best thing would be to clear out old summary and
index/ibex/cmeta files, which is described in the FAQ page Thomas gave a
link to in the previous reply to your email.

It automatically migrates when the version in
GConf /apps/evolution/last_version and /apps/evolution/version doesn't
match (the last_version is usually lower than the actual version). Make
these two same, the 2.30.1 I guess, and it'll stop upgrading, though it
may crash later when you do not clean the summary/index/ibex/cmeta
files, as mentioned above.

backtrace of the crash, with debug info packages for gtkhtml3,
evolution-data-server, evolution and any other evolution related
packages installed would be the best option.
