This isn't an evolution bug, but a collection of bugs in the various packages that make the assumption that evolution is installed. Please can you break this down into separate bugs, filing them against the specific components that have problems when Evolution isn't installed. Marking as NEEDINFO - please post the bug numbers of any new bugs here before I close this one (for the sake of completeness). Thanks! I don't know what packages are involved. How can I figure that out? The items affected in my original post are the default Gnome and KDE mail client (or, rather, the default desktop panel for each desktop as configured by the Fedora group) and various Gnome themes which link to the redhat-email.png icon. Those are the only two I've seen, but there are probably additional similar items. Submitted the icon problem at bug #128800 (package gnome-icon-theme) For Gnome in Fedora Core 3, the mail icon on the panel now calls the default mail client as selected by the user. I don't have KDE installed. Perhaps someone else can check that. Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Closing per lack of response. Also note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4, please assign to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Sounds like it's fixed as of FC3. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: Hi. I don't like Evolution and I don't use Evolution -- I use Mozilla Mail instead. Thus, I did not install Evolution as part of my Fedora Core 2 new installation. Now I notice several oddities. Mostly configuration problems, and they are all along the lins of "file not found" because some componenet -- image or icon or default config of the FC2 desktop -- is missing or misconfigured because Evolution is not found. Notably, the ones I've found are: 1) In Gnome, choosing a different Theme (RedHat->Preferences->Themes) will give an error when switching to a different theme. The error is "Failed to load image redhat-email.png Details: Failed to open file '/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/redhat-email.png': No such file or directory" Doing "ls /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/redhat-email.png" shows that there is a symbolic link to a file that exists only if Evolution is installed: > ls -l /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/redhat-email.png lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Jun 22 12:07 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/redhat-email.png -> /usr/share/evolution/1.4/glade/evolution.png 2) The default mail client for FC2 in both Gnome and KDE is Evolution. Even if Evo is not installed! So the "Mail" icon on the default taskbar for both desktops is linked to Evo, and an error comes up when clicked along the lines of "file or program 'evolution' not found" So there it is. Not life-threatening, but something that would be nice to have. A way for the default themes and desktop (and any other broken component) to be a little smarter about the default email client. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): N/A How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC2, but choose to NOT install the package "Evolution" 2. Try clicking the default desktop "email client" icon or changing themes in Gnome Actual Results: Error "File not found" or similar Expected Results: No errors should occur Additional info:
