--- Begin Message ---Package: evolution Version: 3.20.2-2 Severity: important Context: my environment is uncommon, this is Debian Testing running headless as a VM on Qubes OS with the Xserver running in dom0. This used to work before recent updates, so I am thinking glibc? This is what happens now when I try to start evolution in an xterm in Debian on Qubes: $ evolution& libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to open swrast (search paths /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:${ORIGIN}/dri:/usr/lib/dri) libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to open swrast (search paths /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:${ORIGIN}/dri:/usr/lib/dri) (evolution:3059): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strsplit: assertion 'string != NULL' failed I have the nearly exact same version of Debian Testing running on bare metal, with a somewhat different selection of packages, where evolution currently starts just fine. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.1.24-9.pvops.qubes.x86_64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages evolution depends on: ii dbus 1.10.8-1 ii evolution-common 3.20.2-2 ii evolution-data-server 3.20.2-2 ii libc6 2.22-9 ii libcamel-1.2-57 3.20.2-2 ii libclutter-gtk-1.0-0 1.8.0-1 ii libecal-1.2-19 3.20.2-2 ii libedataserver-1.2-21 3.20.2-2 ii libevolution 3.20.2-2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.48.1-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.20.4-1 ii libical2 2.0.0-0.4 ii libicu55 55.1-7 ii libnotify4 0.7.6-2 ii libsoup2.4-1 2.54.1-1 ii libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 2.4.11-1+b1 ii libxml2 2.9.3+dfsg1-1 ii psmisc 22.21-2.1+b1 Versions of packages evolution recommends: ii bogofilter 1.2.4+dfsg1-4 ii evolution-plugins 3.20.2-2 ii yelp 3.20.1-1 Versions of packages evolution suggests: pn evolution-ews <none> pn evolution-plugins-experimental <none> ii gnupg 1.4.20-6 ii network-manager 1.2.2-1 -- no debconf information
