I can confirm this disaster. I've apt-get ubuntu-desktop on a kubuntu powerpc dapper installation. After using evolution for 2 days, now it crashes at startup and there's no obvious thing I can do to stop it.
After attempting to start evolution about 10 times, then no other app launches. All crash! Which of the numerous logs is supposed to give some info on what is going on? -- Evolution crashes on startup https://launchpad.net/bugs/17698 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
