Package: evolution Version: 3.2.2-1 Severity: important Tags: upstream This bug has been forwarded to gnome bugzilla. This description is reproduced from that bug report:
I upgraded to debian wheezy today, and in the process Evolution was upgraded to 3.2.2. In the process I switched away Gnome3 to another windows manager. After setting that up I ran Evolution for the first time and it refused to collect new emails. It variously complained about being disconnected, timeouts and occasionally the configured proxy not being a SOCKS4 proxy. Turned out it was going to our local http proxy for every connection, which of course refused to have anything to do with it. At the start Evolution preferences were set to use the system's proxy settings, but when I changed that to "Direct" it continued to happen. This is the bug. For what it was worth the System was _not_ configured to use a proxy in the ..gconf settings. That Evolution was trying to use a SOCKS4 proxy in the face of this is another bug, but probably not in Evolution itself. It turned out it was reading the proxy setting from the file $HOME/.config/dconf/user. Removing that file fixed the problem. I suspect that file is normally updated by Gnome3, but as I said I had switched away from that earlier and instead was editing the .gconf settings using gconf-editor which is I gather a sanctioned way of editing Gnome3 settings. This second bug may be that gconf-editor doesn't update .config/dconf/user. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages evolution depends on: ii dbus 1.4.18-1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.41 ii evolution-common 3.2.2-1 ii evolution-data-server 3.2.2-1 ii gconf2 2.32.4-1 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.2.1.2-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.2.0-2 ii libc6 2.13-26 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.10.2-6.2 ii libcairo2 1.10.2-6.2 ii libcamel-1.2-29 3.2.2-1 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.28-3 ii libcanberra0 0.28-3 ii libclutter-1.0-0 1.8.4-1 ii libclutter-gtk-1.0-0 1.0.4-1 ii libcogl-pango0 1.8.2-1 ii libcogl5 1.8.2-1 ii libdrm2 2.4.30-1 ii libebackend-1.2-1 3.2.2-1 ii libebook-1.2-12 3.2.2-1 ii libecal-1.2-10 3.2.2-1 ii libedataserver-1.2-15 3.2.2-1 ii libedataserverui-3.0-1 3.2.2-1 ii libenchant1c2a 1.6.0-7 ii libevolution 3.2.2-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-3.1 ii libfreetype6 2.4.8-1 ii libgail-3-0 3.2.3-1 ii libgconf2-4 2.32.4-1 ii libgdata13 0.10.1-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.24.1-1 ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 7.11.2-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.30.2-6 ii libgnome-desktop-3-2 3.2.1-3 ii libgtk-3-0 3.2.3-1 ii libgtkhtml-4.0-0 4.2.2-1 ii libgtkhtml-editor-4.0-0 4.2.2-1 ii libgweather-3-0 3.2.1-1 ii libical0 0.44-3 ii libjson-glib-1.0-0 0.14.2-1 ii libmx-1.0-2 1.4.1-1 ii libnotify4 0.7.4-1 ii libnspr4-0d 4.9~beta5-2 ii libnss3-1d 3.13.1.with.ckbi.1.88-1 ii libpango1.0-0 1.29.4-2 ii libsoup-gnome2.4-1 2.34.3-1 ii libsoup2.4-1 2.34.3-1 ii libsqlite3-0 3.7.10-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.4.4-4 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.3-2 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.3-2 ii libxext6 2:1.3.0-3 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0-4 ii libxi6 2:1.4.5-1 ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-7 ii psmisc 22.15-2 Versions of packages evolution recommends: ii bogofilter 1.2.2+dfsg1-1 ii evolution-plugins 3.2.2-1 ii evolution-webcal 2.32.0-2 ii spamassassin 3.3.2-2 ii yelp 3.2.1+dfsg-1+b1 Versions of packages evolution suggests: ii evolution-dbg <none> ii evolution-exchange 3.2.1-2 ii evolution-plugins-experimental 3.2.2-1 ii gnupg 1.4.11-3 ii network-manager 0.9.2.0-2 -- debconf information: evolution/kill_processes: * evolution/needs_shutdown: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
