[Bug 1402422] [NEW] evolution should not be linked with -Bsymbolic-functions
Public bug reported: evolution should not be linked with -Bsymbolic-functions as it relies on the fact that some function calls (e.g. to eab_contact_display_get_type()) go through the PLT. See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/831308/comments/7 and https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594473 (evolution doesn't seem to support building with -Bsymbolic-functions). This seems to be fixed for current versions of evolution-ews: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-ews/3.12.7-1 This affects both evolution 3.2 (in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) and 3.10 (in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS). ** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: evolution should not be linked with -Bsymbolic-functions as it relies on the fact that some function calls (e.g. to eab_contact_display_get_type()) go through the PLT.

[Bug 831308] Re: Evolution crash when copy/move contact between address books
This problem is caused by the fact that a) there are definitions of eab_contact_display_get_type() in 3 libraries: - /usr/lib/evolution/3.2/libecontacteditor.so.0 - /usr/lib/evolution/3.2/modules/libevolution-module-addressbook.so - /usr/lib/evolution/3.2/plugins/liborg-gnome-vcard-inline.so and b) the code is linked with -Bsymbolic-functions (which seems to be turned on in Ubuntu by default), which means that the both the first and the second definition are used (because calls to eab_contact_display_get_type() do not go through the PLT). eab_contact_display_get_type() tries to register the type EABContactDisplay which only succeeds the first time (for libevolution-module-addressbook.so). The second time (for libecontacteditor.so.0) the type registration fails which causes this error message: (evolution:20644): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `EABContactDisplay' (evolution:20644): e-utils-ERROR **: eab-contact-duplicate-detected.ui: Invalid type function on line 90: 'eab_contact_display_get_type' Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) The solution probably is not to use -Bsymbolic-functions for linking evolution. #912081 and #996903 seem to be duplicates of this bug report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/831308 Title: Evolution crash when copy/move contact between address books To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/831308/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
