Package: evolution Version: 3.38.3-1 Followup-For: Bug #592276 X-Debbugs-Cc: foren...@wi.rr.com
Dear Maintainer, I upgraded evolution with a routine system upgrade, to upgrade with new packages. The upgraded version uses a different mail format. I expected the existing email tree to be converted to the new format. No such luck. The upgrade just blew the tree away. But I made a full backup before the upgrade just in case. The backup is in the old format. When I try to import it, the machine freezes with a message in the bottom bar that it is scanning a certain directory. After 2 to 3 minutes, a dialog box pops up saying that evolution has stopped responding. If I click "Wait", and go do something else for a while, when I come back, the dialog is back in a few seconds, with the same message in the bottom bar, scanning directory such and such. But it's the same directory in the message as before. The laptop is one of the fastest Lenovo from 2016, so processor power shouldn't be an issue. The drive is a SSD, so it's fast too: 450MB/s Diagnostics show no problem with memory (memtrester run 10 cycles), or anything else. I think hardware error is not an issue. If I leave it running overnight, it's the same the next night. Never had this problem before. So, I think it can be traced to the new mail format and the conversion neccesary of the backup file data. It appears to import the raw data in the backup, but it fails somewhere after that. The backup is huge (100-150MB), and I haven't archived anything ever (5-7years). And, the trash might have been quite loaded, as I have emptied it only once. I'd say there are at least 20,000 messages in the backup. I don't know if that matters. I've tried purging evolution and reinstalling. Same problem. I'm experienced with Debian, since woody. But I cannot solve this problem. Thank you for all the help. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.18.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages evolution depends on: ii dbus 1.12.20-2 ii evolution-common 3.38.3-1 ii evolution-data-server 3.38.3-1 ii libc6 2.31-13+deb11u4 ii libcamel-1.2-62 3.38.3-1 ii libclutter-gtk-1.0-0 1.8.4-4 ii libecal-2.0-1 3.38.3-1 ii libedataserver-1.2-25 3.38.3-1 ii libevolution 3.38.3-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.66.8-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.24-4+deb11u2 ii libical3 3.0.9-2 ii libnotify4 0.7.9-3 ii libsoup2.4-1 2.72.0-2 ii libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 2.36.7-1~deb11u1 ii libxml2 2.9.10+dfsg-6.7+deb11u2 ii psmisc 23.4-2 Versions of packages evolution recommends: ii evolution-plugin-bogofilter 3.38.3-1 ii evolution-plugin-pstimport 3.38.3-1 ii evolution-plugins 3.38.3-1 ii yelp 3.38.3-1 Versions of packages evolution suggests: pn evolution-ews <none> pn evolution-plugins-experimental <none> ii gnupg 2.2.27-2+deb11u2 ii network-manager 1.30.6-1+deb11u1 -- no debconf information
