Bug Description

Binary package hint: bug-buddy

When applications crash (I've had many crashes in evolution) bug-buddy comes up automatically, tells me "evolution has crashed" and performs a backtrace. It asks for my email address, but when I click send it complains that it can't submit a bug because the package couldn't be identified. This despite it having identified evolution as the programme that crashed. This happens consistently when evolution crashes, although when seahorse crashed it correctly identified it and submitted the bug to gnome bugzilla. BTW, why doesn't it submit bug reports to the ubuntu system?

I use edgy powerpc.

I start it from a shortcut on my gnome panel, usually. Certainly the majority of instances of this problem has been when evolution was started like this, although I'm almost sure it's happened when it was started from the menu. I never run it from the terminal.

I have the same problem as the original submitter. evolution is either
started as part of my KDE session, or when it crashes, I restart it from
a shell ("evolution &").

I've switched from Evolution to Thunderbird and hardly ever have crashes now. I will see if I can replicate the bug and post a comment if I can.

that should be fixed to feisty, feel free to reopen if you still get the bug after upgrading though
