[Evolution] [solved] ICU 64 issue - Was: SpamAssassin - Was: All Mails filtered as spam

[Ralf Mardorf <silver bullet zoho com>]

Hi Milan,

issues related to inconsistent dependencies could only happen, if I'm
using downgraded packages.

By running...

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu evolution evolution-bogofilter evolution-data-server 
evolution-spamassassin
:: Synchronizing package databases...
[snip]
:: evolution is in IgnorePkg/IgnoreGroup. Install anyway? [Y/n] y
:: evolution-bogofilter is in IgnorePkg/IgnoreGroup. Install anyway? [Y/n] y
:: evolution-data-server is in IgnorePkg/IgnoreGroup. Install anyway? [Y/n] y
:: evolution-spamassassin is in IgnorePkg/IgnoreGroup. Install anyway? [Y/n] y
:: Starting full system upgrade...
[snip]

...the install is completely updated by official Arch Linux
repositories.

I can also check, if compiling the packages, as done by the package
maintainer shows something.

Since I provide icu 63, too, I first assure that everything links
against icu 64 from official repositories.

[rocketmouse@archlinux tmp]$ ls -go /usr/lib/libicu*so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 18 Apr 23 18:25 /usr/lib/libicudata.so -> libicudata.so.64.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 18 Apr 23 18:25 /usr/lib/libicui18n.so -> libicui18n.so.64.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 16 Apr 23 18:25 /usr/lib/libicuio.so -> libicuio.so.64.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 18 Apr 23 18:25 /usr/lib/libicutest.so -> libicutest.so.64.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 16 Apr 23 18:25 /usr/lib/libicutu.so -> libicutu.so.64.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 16 Apr 23 18:25 /usr/lib/libicuuc.so -> libicuuc.so.64.2

It does.

[rocketmouse@archlinux tmp]$ svn checkout --depth=empty svn://svn.archlinux.org/packages && cd packages
Checked out revision 359178.
[rocketmouse@archlinux packages]$ svn update evolution-data-server && svn update evolution
[snip]

I now could build the original packages and take a look at the output
when compiling.

However, first I'll run Evolution from command line, using the official
packages.

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ ps aux | grep evolution

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ evolution

(evolution:8635): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: 12:29:25.299: Your application did not unregister from D-Bus before

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$

Now the bomb drops. A few days back I tested it, too. IIRC in the
meantime there were no related updates, I will not check the log files,
however, the issue is fixed.

The only difference most likely is, that after upgrading and closing
Evolution I didn't checked with ps and didn't kill remaining processes a
few days ago.

I guess the culprit was that closing Evolution didn't terminate all
processes, quasi rendering the upgrades useless.

Ralf
