Thanks for a bug report. Just to make a connection to another bug, which happened at the same time: bug #1630787

Comment 14 Milan Crha 2018-09-19 11:41:33 UTC
If I read the backtrace properly, then you've received a meeting "invitation" mail which cancelled either whole meeting or an instance of a recurring meeting. You clicked in Evolution's UI to "Update Calendar", while you've stored this meeting in one of the On This Computer calendars.

Evolution sent this cancelled event to the calendar and the calendar backend had been updating the locally stored information about it, while the backend process crashed.

Am I close to the circumstances, please?

The backtrace even shows the event UID, with which it's easy to find it. It's "CE7E38931706A309C12582D3002B6DC4-Lotus_Notes_Generated" (quotes for clarity only). Having it for testing would be nice (it can be found in ~/.local/share/evolution/calendar/ in one of the files of the subfolders), together with the corresponding invitation email, but I understand it contains plenty of private information, which might be hard to remove.

Thus maybe if you could confirm the above guesses and check what the offending event looks like both in the local calendar and in the invitation mail (is recurring? is yes, does it have detached instances?), thus I could try to reproduce this here.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life.
On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases
that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as
EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '28'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 28 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 16 Ben Cotton 2019-05-28 22:28:52 UTC
Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
