Package: evolution Version: 3.4.4-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Your reportbug template asks that bugs be submitted directly upstream on the grounds of being understaffed. There are a number of problems with that; I'm filing this bug because upstream is not supporting the version in wheezy. I interpreted the instructions to mean "submit anything that is not obviously a packaging issue to upstream." Another problem is that an end user, such as myself, encountering a problem, can only speculate about whether the issue is present in the upstream code, or is Debian-specific. Finally, isn't policy that all bugs should go to debian and the maintainers submit upstream only if appropriate? I just submitted a bug upstream, which produced this response in minutes (the reportbug gui seems to have mangled it a bit): https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgiid=707235 Evolution | Mailer | 3.4.x Matthew Barnes <mbarnes> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED CC| |mbar...@redhat.com Resolution| |OBSOLETE --- Comment #1 from Matthew Barnes <mbar...@redhat.com> 2013-09-01 17:53:12 UTC --- Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use. By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME. Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 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 1.6.8-1+deb7u1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.49 ii evolution-common 3.4.4-3 ii evolution-data-server 3.4.4-3 ii gconf-service 3.2.5-1+build1 ii gconf2 3.2.5-1+build1 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.4.0-2 ii libatk1.0-0 2.4.0-2 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.12.2-3 ii libcairo2 1.12.2-3 ii libcamel-1.2-33 3.4.4-3 ii libclutter-gtk-1.0-0 1.2.0-2 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.100.2-1 ii libebackend-1.2-2 3.4.4-3 ii libebook-1.2-13 3.4.4-3 ii libecal-1.2-11 3.4.4-3 ii libedataserver-1.2-16 3.4.4-3 ii libedataserverui-3.0-1 3.4.4-3 ii libenchant1c2a 1.6.0-7 ii libevolution 3.4.4-3 ii libgail-3-0 3.4.2-6 ii libgconf-2-4 3.2.5-1+build1 ii libgdata13 0.12.0-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.26.1-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.33.12+really2.32.4-5 ii libgnome-desktop-3-2 3.4.2-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.4.2-6 ii libgtkhtml-4.0-0 4.4.4-1 ii libgtkhtml-editor-4.0-0 4.4.4-1 ii libgweather-3-0 3.4.1-1+build1 ii libical0 0.48-2 ii libmx-1.0-2 1.4.6-1 ii libnotify4 0.7.5-1 ii libnspr4 2:4.9.2-1 ii libnspr4-0d 2:4.9.2-1 ii libnss3 2:3.14.3-1 ii libnss3-1d 2:3.14.3-1 ii libpango1.0-0 1.30.0-1 ii libsoup2.4-1 2.38.1-2 ii libsqlite3-0 3.7.13-1+deb7u1 ii libxml2 2.8.0+dfsg1-7+nmu1 ii psmisc 22.19-1+deb7u1 Versions of packages evolution recommends: ii bogofilter 1.2.2+dfsg1-2 ii evolution-plugins 3.4.4-3 ii evolution-webcal 2.32.0-2+b1 ii yelp 3.4.2-1+b1 Versions of packages evolution suggests: pn evolution-dbg <none> pn evolution-exchange <none> pn evolution-plugins-experimental <none> ii gnupg 1.4.12-7+deb7u1 ii network-manager 0.9.4.0-10 -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
