Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Evolution crashed while switching emails in a folder with the "magic spacebar". This is not obviously reproducible.

I see from Launchpad that similar segfaults have occurred in the past, but they all seem to have occurred with 9.04 or older.

      - don't use po-debconf there either
      - build-depends on libpst, python and shared-mime-info
      - set gnome-pilot-conduits as suggests
      - don't split documentation since it goes to langpacks
      - evolution replaces evolution-plugins (<< 2.22.2-1)
        since the bogofilter plugin has been moved there
      - evolution-plugins-experimental replaces evolution-plugins (<< 2.27)
      - updated descriptions to reflect binary installs
