Evolution stops working permanently, assertion failure in camel_object_bag_reserve
Last modified: 2009-04-27 04:30:50 EDT
Description of problem: Evolution stopped working for me. Even reboot doesn't help. When starting evolution of the command line, I get: $ evolution evolution-shell-Message: Killing old version of evolution-data-server... ** (evolution:7021): DEBUG: mailto URL command: evolution --component=mail %s ** (evolution:7021): DEBUG: mailto URL program: evolution libnm_glib_nm_state_cb: dbus returned an error. (org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown) The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files ** camel:ERROR:camel-object.c:2209:camel_object_bag_reserve: assertion failed: (!res->have_owner || !pthread_equal(res->owner, pthread_self())) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.24.5-1.fc10 How reproducible: Always once it happened, but I don't know how to make it happen on another system. Steps to Reproduce: 1. I believe I started and closed Evolution several times quickly before it happened. Actual results: Evolution doesn't start. Expected results: Evolution starts. Additional info: Removing .evolution/mail/config/folder-tree-expand-state.xml and .evolution/mail/vfolders.xml made evolution start, but it exited soon with the same assertion. Removal of .evolution/mail helps, but it loses all local mail and all filter settings.
I've upgraded that system to Rawhide. The bug persists. $ rpm -qa |grep evol evolution-data-server-devel-2.26.1-1.fc11.x86_64 evolution-data-server-doc-2.26.1-1.fc11.noarch evolution-2.26.1-2.fc11.x86_64 evolution-data-server-2.26.1-1.fc11.x86_64 evolution-debuginfo-2.26.1-2.fc11.x86_64 evolution-perl-2.26.1-2.fc11.x86_64 evolution-data-server-debuginfo-2.26.1-1.fc11.x86_64 The error message is the same: camel:ERROR:camel-object.c:2209:camel_object_bag_reserve: assertion failed: (!res->have_owner || !pthread_equal(res->owner, pthread_self())) This time Bug Buddy starts. I'm attaching its report. It looks like INBOX/Later plays some role in the stack trace. A actually have that folder on my IMAP server. It's currently empty, but Evolution was showing 6 unread messages in it. The count was wrong, no actual message headers were shown. I tried changing settings on that folder with the right click, I tried restarting Evolution several times, I tried using offline mode. At some point, Evolution would not start anymore, and that's how this bug appeared. Google search found that the error message is mentioned in a German Ubuntu forum, so it's not Fedora specific: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/evolution-stuerzt-ab-problem-mit-data-server/
Created attachment 341295 [details] Bug Buddy report, including full backtrace
Created attachment 341296 [details] Contents of .evolution/mail.save/imap/proski@spamcop.net@imap.spamcop.net/folders/INBOX/subfolders/Later Emptying "journal" and removing other files has fixed the problem!
camel_object_bag_reserve() is in /usr/lib64/libcamel-1.2.so.14.0.0 from evolution-data-server-2.26.1-1.fc11. Adjusting the component accordingly.
Thanks for the bug report and great investigation. I'm closing as upstream with your bug report there. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=580198
