Thanks for a bug report. Saying "it crashes" is not much useful, as you can imagine. Do you have an ABRT report for the crash, please? Or a backtrace is sufficient, to see where it crashed and possibly why. You can get the backgrace from `coredumpctl`, if it was caught, or you can simply run evolution from a terminal under gdb and get the backtrace directly. You should have installed debuginfo packages for the libraries, to have the backtrace usable. You can do it like this:

   $ sudo dnf install evolution-data-server-debuginfo evolution-debuginfo libsoup3-debuginfo glib2-debuginfo gtk3-debuginfo --enablerepo=fedora-debginfo --enablerepo=updates-debuginfo --enablerepo=updaes-testing-debuginfo

Make sure it'll install the same version as the installed package version:

   $ rpm -q evolution evolution-data-server libsoup3 glib2 gtk3

With that installed, you can run evolution under gdb:

   $ gdb evolution --batch  --ex r --ex bt --ex "t a a bt" --ex q &>bt.txt

It will run evolution and then print backtrace when it's stopped. Please check the bt.txt for any private information, like passwords, email addresses, server addresses,... I usually search for "pass" at least (quotes for clarity only).

Thanks for looking into this, here are a couple of backtraces, let me know if there is anything else I can do to help,

Comment 5 Milan Crha 2022-11-08 06:40:03 UTC
Thanks for the update. I see you did not install debug info packages I asked you to do, thus the backtraces are not as detailed as they could be, but luckily there is something at least partly useful. It leads to bug #2135163, thus I mark this as a duplicate of it.
