Hi,

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2019-April/msg00068.html
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution-data-server/issues/102

Should I add another bug report?

Steps to reproduce:

Evolution and evolution-data-server compiled against icu 64 doesn't
provide access to the contacts (addresses) anymore. Try to access the
Contacts, it doesn't work, addresses are also not available, by the
email editor.

Downgrade to a version compiled against icu 63, access is available
again.

Since I usually don't build Evolution packages myself (I've done this a
few times), I can't comment on the compiling issues.

However, I suspect, if I report the issue I'm experiencing, it would
just be a duplicate of issue #102.

Note, when using release model distros, such as Debian and Ubuntu, GNOME
dependencies are usually to old, to keep up with Evolution from
upstream, when using a rolling release such as Arch Linux, there are
usually no issues, but now there is an issue. Evolution upstream expects
the latest version of GNOME dependencies and a way outdate release of
icu. Which distro keeps up with GNOME and stays with a 4 month old
version of icu?

Within the last 4 month...

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep down /var/log/pacman.log | grep 'evolution (3.32'
[2019-04-12 03:22] [ALPM] downgraded evolution (3.32.1-1 -> 3.32.0-1)
[2019-05-07 08:16] [ALPM] downgraded evolution (3.32.2-1 -> 3.32.0-1)
[2019-06-22 13:02] [ALPM] downgraded evolution (3.32.3-1 -> 3.32.0-1)
[2019-07-17 13:56] [ALPM] downgraded evolution (3.32.4-1 -> 3.32.0-1)
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep up /var/log/pacman.log | grep 'icu (6' | tail -3
[2019-04-12 03:32] [ALPM] upgraded icu (63.1-2 -> 64.1-1)
[2019-04-26 08:41] [ALPM] upgraded icu (64.1-1 -> 64.2-1)
[2019-04-27 14:43] [ALPM] upgraded lib32-icu (64.1-1 -> 64.2-1)

...4 new versions of Evolution were released and 4 month ago ICU
upstream already released version 64.1 and 64.2.
