Package: evolution Version: 2.30.3-2 Severity: normal
While upgrading from lenny to sqeeze, evolution gave errors - something like: "Running instances of Evolution detected You are currently upgrading Evolution to a version with an incompatible index format. However, it has been detected that Evolution is currently running. Upgrading it before shutting it down could lead to crashes or to serious data loss in some cases. You need to shut down all running instances of Evolution using the "evolution --force-shutdown" command before the upgrade can proceed." So I gave 'evolution --force-shutdown' But it gave me following error: $ evolution --force-shutdown (evolution:19908): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. (evolution:19908): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library I proceed with upgrade after doing this, but it kept giving me the same error for couple of times and then this: Evolution is still running, aborting... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/evolution_2.30.2-1_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/evolution_2.30.2-1_i386.deb Log ended: 2010-10-07 22:31:50 And the upgrade halted. So I restart the upgrade... But it asks me to do 'apt-get -f install' It upgrades other packages and when it reaches evolution again, the following "Running instances of Evolution detected You are currently upgrading Evolution to a version with an incompatible index format. However, it has been detected that Evolution is currently running. Upgrading it before shutting it down could lead to crashes or to serious data loss in some cases. You need to shut down all running instances of Evolution using the "evolution --force-shutdown" command before the upgrade can proceed." So this time I give $ killall evolution-exchange-storage # I typed evo and then pressed tab Then again proceed with upgrade, and it continues. Do I need to attach term.log? I have already copied the relevant text above. I don't know if I lost any data because I do not use evolution much. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages evolution depends on: ii dbus 1.2.24-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.35 Debian configuration management sy ii evolution-common 2.30.3-2 architecture independent files for ii evolution-data-server 2.30.3-2 evolution database backend server ii gconf2 2.28.1-4 GNOME configuration database syste ii gnome-icon-theme 2.30.3-1 GNOME Desktop icon theme ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.21-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.30.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.11.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.10-6 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libcamel1.2-14 2.30.3-2 The Evolution MIME message handlin ii libcanberra-gtk0 0.24-1 Gtk+ helper for playing widget eve ii libcanberra0 0.24-1 a simple abstract interface for pl ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.24-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.88-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libebackend1.2-0 2.30.3-2 Utility library for evolution data ii libebook1.2-9 2.30.3-2 Client library for evolution addre ii libecal1.2-7 2.30.3-2 Client library for evolution calen ii libedataserver1.2-13 2.30.3-2 Utility library for evolution data ii libedataserverui1.2-8 2.30.3-2 GUI utility library for evolution ii libegroupwise1.2-13 2.30.3-2 Client library for accessing group ii libenchant1c2a 1.6.0-1 a wrapper library for various spel ii libevolution 2.30.3-2 evolution libraries ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.4.2-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgconf2-4 2.28.1-4 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgdata-google1.2-1 2.30.3-2 Client library for accessing Googl ii libgdata1.2-1 2.30.3-2 Client library for accessing Googl ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-desktop-2-17 2.30.2-1 Utility library for loading .deskt ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.30.1-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-1+b1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libgtkhtml-editor0 3.30.2-1 HTML rendering/editing library - e ii libgtkhtml3.14-19 3.30.2-1 HTML rendering/editing library - r ii libgweather1 2.30.2-1 GWeather shared library ii libical0 0.44-3 iCalendar library implementation i ii libice6 2:1.0.6-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libnotify1 [libnotify1- 0.5.0-2 sends desktop notifications to a n ii libnspr4-0d 4.8.4-2 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libnss3-1d 3.12.6-3 Network Security Service libraries ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.1-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libsm6 2:1.1.1-1 X11 Session Management library ii libsoup2.4-1 2.30.2-1 an HTTP library implementation in ii libsqlite3-0 3.7.2-1 SQLite 3 shared library ii libstartup-notification 0.10-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libunique-1.0-0 1.1.6-1.1 Library for writing single instanc ii libxml2 2.7.7.dfsg-4 GNOME XML library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages evolution recommends: pn bogofilter | spamassassi <none> (no description available) ii evolution-plugins 2.30.3-2 standard plugins for Evolution ii evolution-webcal 2.28.1-1 webcal: URL handler for GNOME and ii gnome-desktop-data 2.30.2-1 Common files for GNOME desktop app ii yelp 2.30.1+webkit-1 Help browser for GNOME Versions of packages evolution suggests: pn bug-buddy <none> (no description available) pn evolution-dbg <none> (no description available) ii evolution-exchange 2.30.2-1 Exchange plugin for the Evolution pn evolution-plugins-experimenta <none> (no description available) ii gnupg 1.4.10-4 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep ii network-manager 0.8.1-2+b1 network management framework daemo -- debconf information: * evolution/needs_shutdown: _______________________________________________ Pkg-evolution-maintainers mailing list Pkg-evolution-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-evolution-maintainers
