Description of problem: Evolution rpm package does not depend on dconf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install a KDE spin of Fedora (no default Gnome) 2.yum install evolution 3.dconf is not installed Actual results: Evolution fails to preserve certain settings between runs. Expected results: All non-default settings should be preserved. Additional info: Evolution gives no error message about failing to store settings info, nor is there anything in /var/log/messages. Installing dconf manually (using yum) fixes the issue.
Indeed, its backup-restore module executes the "dconf" tool (which would need to be added as an explicit dependency, because it's not automatically detected): $ grep dconf * -R|grep \\.c: modules/backup-restore/evolution-backup-tool.c:#define DCONF_DUMP_FILE_EDS "backup-restore-dconf-eds.ini" modules/backup-restore/evolution-backup-tool.c:#define DCONF_DUMP_FILE_EVO "backup-restore-dconf-evo.ini" modules/backup-restore/evolution-backup-tool.c: run_cmd ("dconf dump " DCONF_PATH_EDS " >" EVOLUTION_DIR DCONF_DUMP_FILE_EDS); modules/backup-restore/evolution-backup-tool.c: run_cmd ("dconf dump " DCONF_PATH_EVO " >" EVOLUTION_DIR DCONF_DUMP_FILE_EVO); modules/backup-restore/evolution-backup-tool.c: run_cmd ("cat " EVOLUTION_DIR DCONF_DUMP_FILE_EDS " | dconf load " DCONF_PATH_EDS); modules/backup-restore/evolution-backup-tool.c: run_cmd ("cat " EVOLUTION_DIR DCONF_DUMP_FILE_EVO " | dconf load " DCONF_PATH_EVO);

Thanks for a bug report. I added the dependency into evolution-data-server, it talks to dconf too (it installs schema files there). The fix will be included in the next week's 3.8.4 update.

Matthew did the change before me for some reason. The release will be done shortly, during this week.
