I incidentally ran into this error, I put the workaround here so others can find it. This is apparently caused by the order of name resolution in /etc/nsswitch.conf. If "wins" happens before "dns" in the name resolution chain, evolution aborts with the error reported (when the MAPI plugin is installed).
To solve the problem you need to put "wins" AFTER "dns" in the resolution chain, i.e., the following chain duplicates the problem: hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] wins dns mdns4 If you invert the position of WINS and DNS, the problem is gone: hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns wins mdns4 Regards, Emir -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/722446 Title: evolution assert failure: *** glibc detected *** evolution: realloc(): invalid pointer: 0x00007f820a6238e8 *** To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/722446/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
