Release: 9.10

juliusr@Oriole:/var/crash$ apt-cache policy evolution
evolution:
  Installed: 2.28.1-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2.28.1-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 0

What I expected to happen:
When i hit reply to an email in evo i expect a window to open to allow me to reply to the email etc.

What happened instead:
Initially after my upgrade to karmic, evo worked fine.
When i hit reply to an email, evo became unresponsive.
I waited awhile then killed the evo process
Upon starting evo again, no gui started and the process terminated
I rebooted
Upon starting evo again, a gui started breifly then the process terminated
when invoked from the cli, evo printed the following:

  * Merge from debian experimental:
    + debian/control:
      - add Vcs-Bzr tag
      - don't build depends on pilot-link it's not required
      - 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
      - remove libgtkimageview-dev build-dep: not in main, seems crashy right
        now
    + debian/docs:

    + debian/evolution-2.2.desktop:
      - compatibility .desktop for users upgrading
    + debian/evolution.gconf-defaults:

    + debian/evolution-alarm-notify.desktop,
      debian/evolution-alarm-notify.desktop.in,
      #debian/patches/64_translate_autostart_strings.patch: #
      - autostart desktop file to start evolution-alarm-notify with the session,
        translate the entry
    + debian/evolution-dev.install:
      - detail the .so to install
    + debian/evolution-plugins.install,
      debian/evolution-plugins-experimental.install:
      - install the .so in binaries corresponding to the upstream options
    + debian/patches/01_dont-ship-evo-mail-notifier.png.patch:

    + debian/evolution.preinst, debian/evolution.templates:
      - don't display debconf template on upgrade
    + debian/patches/03_lpi.patch:
      - launchpad-integration patch
    + debian/patches/62_no_upstream_email_notification_by_default.patch:
      - don't enable the notification icon by default since the message indicator
        is running
    + debian/patches/10_desktop_shortcuts.patch
      - Adds desktop shortcuts for the messaging menu.
    + debian/rules:
      - don't use -Bsymbolic-functions to workaround memos crashing
      - don't use debconf translation there
      - use --disable-scrollkeeper --enable-python configure option
      - use --disable-inline-plugin: dep not in main, seems crashy right now
