Evolution does not empty trash on exit

thanks for the report, that works fine for me, could you please run evolution from the command line as : evolution &> evolution-log.txt , perform the action and submit that file to the report? may you also test the same with a new user on your computer? thanks.

Thanks for reply. See attached for logs (edited to remove personal info).

I also now tested using the guest session and found the same problem.

yes I can confirm it in evolution-2.24.0-0ubuntu2, when I try to empty trash, error expunging

the issue is an upstream one, could somebody open it on bugzilla.gnome.org?

Ok, here you go:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=555979

I am referred to another bug:

bug #298526 seems to be a new crash due to this update, the next tarball will fix the issue

2.24.1.1-0ubuntu1 (64-bit) still does not empty my trash on exit, and trying to use the "empty trash" option from the folder's context menu only succeeds in crashing the program instantly.

Accepted evolution-data-server into intrepid-proposed, please test and give feedback here. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

2.24.2-0ubuntu1 seems to fix the crash that occurred upon attempting to empty the trash via the folder context menu, but it still does not actually ever empty the trash, neither via the context menu nor upon exit.

This bug was fixed in the package evolution-data-server - 2.24.2-0ubuntu1

Verification failed, reopening.

the issue has been fixed in the intrepid updates and jaunty

whoever still has the issue should open a new bug or reopen the upstream bugzilla bug

I did still have this problem with the latest version, until I simply deleted the contents of the "local" sub-directory, which seems to've done the trick.

Hi,

This bug was reported long time ago, maybe it is fixed now.

Thx.
