Description of problem: In fedora 13 repositories I still find evolution-remove-duplicates-0.0.4-4.fc12.i686, but inside evolution I have no "remove duplicates" plugin. I tried compiling evolution-remove-duplicates-0.0.4-4.fc1 from source but compilation fails with: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I.. -DORBIT2=1 -pthread -I/usr/include/evolution-2.30 -I/usr/include/evolution-data-server-2.30 -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/unique-1.0 -I/usr/include/libgtkhtml-3.14 -I/usr/include/libgtkhtml-3.14/editor -I/usr/include/libgnomecanvas-2.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/nss3 -I/usr/include/nspr4 -I/usr/include/gconf/2 -I/usr/include/libsoup-2.4 -I/usr/include/orbit-2.0 -I/usr/include/dbus-1.0 -I/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/include -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/libpng12 -I/usr/include/enchant -I/usr/include/gail-1.0 -I/usr/include/libart-2.0 -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m32 -march=i686 -mtune=atom -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -c remove-duplicates.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/remove-duplicates.o remove-duplicates.c:23:27: error: mail/em-popup.h: No such file or directory remove-duplicates.c:25:28: error: e-util/e-error.h: No such file or directory remove-duplicates.c: In function 'run_dialog': remove-duplicates.c:39: warning: implicit declaration of function 'e_error_run' remove-duplicates.c: In function 'get_message_md5': remove-duplicates.c:86: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 'md5_get_digest' differ in signedness /usr/include/evolution-data-server-2.30/libedataserver/md5-utils.h:48: note: expected 'const gchar *' but argument is of type 'guint8 *' remove-duplicates.c: At top level: remove-duplicates.c:159: error: expected ')' before '*' token remove-duplicates.c:162: error: expected ')' before '*' token make[3]: *** [remove-duplicates.lo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/remove-duplicates-plugin-0.0.4/src' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/remove-duplicates-plugin-0.0.4/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/remove-duplicates-plugin-0.0.4' make: *** [all] Error 2 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.UzE6q5 (%build) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.UzE6q5 (%build) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-remove-duplicates-0.0.4-4.fc12.i686 evolution-2.30.2-4.fc13.i686 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install evolution 2. install evolution-remove-duplicate 3. try to enable plugin in "Edit -> Plugins" dialog: there is no "remove duplicates" plugin. Actual results: Plugin cannot be used. Expected results: Plugin can be used. Additional info:
This is an unfortunate regression. Given the flakyness of evolution duplicates are a fact of life. Has somebody petitioned Carlos G for a fix?
I've not managed to contact him at all -- if you happen to have his contact details, please do ask. evo-rem-dup is actually not supported as of F-13, but it was not disabled in time for the release, and as a policy the software that are shipped at release time stays alive in that particular release.
