Thank you for your help. I've now downgraded to the stable version of evolution. However, this downgrade and holding of packages: evolution, evolution-common, evolution-data-server, evolution-data-server-common, libevolution creates a broken system due to the gcc-5 migration: apt-get install gcc he following packages have unmet dependencies: libstdc++6 : Breaks: libboost-date-time1.55.0 but 1.55.0+dfsg-3 is to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). Solving the brokenness by apt-get -f install does the following: The following extra packages will be installed: libphonenumber6 libprotobuf9v5 The following packages will be REMOVED: libboost-date-time1.55.0 libprotobuf9 The following NEW packages will be installed: libprotobuf9v5 The following packages will be upgraded: libphonenumber6 Unfortunately evolution does not start with libprotobuf9v5 installed due to an unresolved symbol in libebook-contacts-1.2.so.0: evolution: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libebook-contacts-1.2.so.0: undefined symbol: _ZNK4i18n12phonenumbers15PhoneNumberUtil23GetCountryCodeForRegionERKSs Any ideas how to proceed until bug #795287 is closed?
