Evolution crashes when searching the calendar

Thanks for your bug report. Please try to obtain a debug backtrace http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

As described in the previous comments, your report lacks the information we need to investigate the problem further. We'll close this report for now - please reopen it if you can give us the missing information.

I encounter the same problem. I've installed evolution-data-server-dbgsym. I followed the instructions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace

Here's the bug buddy report -- I have evolution-data-server-dbgsym installed. I'm not sure why it's giving me the no debugging symbols error.

hopefully the new traces will help. I'd describe the crash situation the same way although I'm not positive it's exactly the same bug.

The new backtrace has no debug information

Ok, I'll give it another shot. I thought I installed all the requisite
dgbsym files.. give me a day.

I'm still not getting any debug symbols. I think like I've followed the instructions on the wiki to the letter: http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces/ApplicationSpecificInstructions#Evolution

$ dpkg-query -l | grep dbg

ii evolution-data-server-dbg 1.10.1-0ubuntu1 evolution database backend server with debug

could you try to attach gdb to evolution-data-server before the crash rather than using bug-buddy?

Got it. I've attached the result. Here's the juicy part:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I've sent the bug upstream, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=451403

Also got hit by this one.

Also seems to affect tasks for me, probably the same issue

Both searching in Calendar and Tasks works fine for me now with evolution 2.12.0 in Gutsy.

Jonah do you still get this issue?

I'm no longer getting this crash while searching (2.12, gutsy).

Marking it as fixed then, thanks for reporting.
