Re: [Evolution] Maildir account broken by update?

[fabien <fabien amiot wanadoo fr>]

Dear all,

I've been waiting for couple of updates before proceeding.

$ grep evolution /var/log/dpkg.log
says that libreoffice-evolution:i386 1:5.2.7-1+deb9u4~bpo8+1 has been
installed the day the problem started.

evolution-data-server has been updated yesterday without any consequence.

Trying to remove libreoffice-evolution (with apt-get) says gnome will be removed, so I didn't proceed.

I should also say that all my data are still in my MailDir folder.

Running evolution from terminal yields :
(evolution:3973): libebackend-WARNING **: module_load: 
/usr/lib/evolution/3.12/modules/evolution-module-rss.so: undefined symbol: em_folder_tree_set_selected
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/evolution/3.12/modules/evolution-module-rss.so

(evolution:3973): camel-local-provider-CRITICAL **: scan_fi: assertion 'path != NULL' failed

(evolution:3973): camel-local-provider-CRITICAL **: scan_dirs: assertion 'path != NULL' failed

(the two last lines being repeated few times and then :)

RSS Plugin enabled (evolution 3.12, evolution-rss 0.3.95)
soup init()

It looks like ths may be the problem... but googling this error didn't help... Any idea?

Did it... without result.
