Evolution does not find its configuration data either and throws error messages and starts with the new configuration dialog. (evolution:9622): evolution-shell-WARNING **: Der Konfigurationsserver konnte nicht kontaktiert werden: D-BUS-Fehler: Method "GetDefaultDatabase" with signature "" on interface "org.gnome.GConf.Server" doesn't exist […] (evolution:9622): e-utils-WARNING **: GConf error: Der Konfigurationsserver konnte nicht kontaktiert werden: D-BUS-Fehler: Method "GetDefaultDatabase" with signature "" on interface "org.gnome.GConf.Server" doesn't exist I hope people have `apt-listbugs` installed. I saw this bug but thought Evolution will not be affected. Evince also throws some errors but missing configuration data is not so grave. GConf-Fehler: Der Konfigurationsserver konnte nicht kontaktiert werden: D-BUS-Fehler: Method "GetDefaultDatabase" with signature "" on interface "org.gnome.GConf.Server" doesn't exist Luckily downgrading using the following command solved this issue for me. $ sudo aptitude install gconf2{,-common}=2.32.4-1 gir1.2-gconf-2.0=2.32.4-1 {gconf-defaults-service,libgconf2-4,libgconf2-dev}=2.32.4-1 Thanks, Paul
