Re: [Evolution] Evolution-backup gone after Mint upgrade to 20

[Michelle <michelle msknight com>]

Well, that was strange.

evolution-backup was previously at - /usr/lib/evolution - which was
what is in my backup script and was working fine before the update to
Mint 20.

After checking, I found it at /usr/libexec/evolution

I went to test it and attempted to start the test by shutting down
evolution with... evolution --quit
... but it told me that evolution wasn't installed, even though it was
up and running at the time.

So... after installing evolution, I'm going to send this e-mail to the
list, then shut down the evolution that's running, attempt to start it
again, and see what I get.
