If it can't open the display, then that is a fairly serious things -
there's no way that Evolution can start if it can't do that.  Are you
doing this directly on the console of the machine or is it a remote
session?  Are you running Xorg or Wayland?  Is the chrome running on a
different (virtual) machine?  Is chrome running in a sandbox?

If it is just within the same major version (i.e. 3.44.x) then you
shouldn't need to wipe all your data.

OK. So there's nothing wrong with Evolution.

I suspect that something did break, but not with Evolution. Has chrome
updated recently as well?
