Thanks. Yes, I'm completely through the emerge -DuN world, |
| 44 |
revdep-rebuild process. No help there. Evolution continues to crash. |
| 45 |
We were running Evolution 2.4. Unfortunately it's no longer in |
| 46 |
portage. I've built every unmasked and masked version in portage and |
| 47 |
they all crash. BugBuddy pops up but the backtrace is useless since |
| 48 |
there is no debugging info. I'm going to rebuild the who machine from |
| 49 |
scratch (emerge -e system, emerge -e world) to see if I get lucky. |
| 50 |

Anyway, thanks. We're happy to look at Thunderbird if it might work. |
