Hi all,

Since yesterday, I've been experiencing issues with Evolution on Debian 11 not 
being able to start up (correctly?). Before that, I have been able to start up 
Evolution successfully. The behaviour seems to be similar to something that was 
sent to this mailing list a month ago (-> 
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2022-March/msg00053.html), but 
the error message is different.

Whenever I attempt to start it from the applications list in GNOME, the cursor 
switches to the "busy" variant for about half a minute, but then returns to 
normal without anything happening. When started via terminal, I receive the 
following output:

  bwrap: Can't create file at /run/user/1000/at-spi/bus_0: No such device or 
address

I have checked if this file file exists, and found that it is a socket with 
permissions set to 777:

  $ ls -Al /run/user/1000/at-spi/bus_0
  srwxrwxrwx 1 user user 0 Apr  4 05:34 /run/user/1000/at-spi/bus_0

I'm not sure if this is how it's supposed to look, though, as I'm not familiar 
with the purpose of this socket or what Evolution/Bubblewrap is attempting to 
do here.

Occasionally, I also receive error messages from GLib which complain about 
Evolution not having unregistered from D-Bus, but I assume these are related to 
me Ctrl+C-ing the application after approx. 2 minutes. If I use the command...

  evolution --force-shutdown

...after I have tried to start Evolution up, I receive the feedback that the 
"Evolution process exited normally" and the following execution of Evolution in 
the terminal does not show the GLib error message.

I have already attempted the following to resolve the observed behavior:
  - Uninstall apparmor temporarily to ensure that it's not trying to sandbox 
Evolution or one of its sub-processes. Reboot.
  - Uninstall and purge the configuration of at-spi2-core, then reinstall it 
alongside the evolution package. Reboot.
  - Stop Evolution. Rename the directories .local/share/evolution and 
.config/evolution as well as remove the .cache/evolution directory. Start 
Evolution.
  - Run evolution as root, in case it's a permission problem. This only changed 
the file path bwrap complains about to /root/.cache/at-spi/bus_0.

The installation uses the evolution package from Debian bullseye-backports. As 
far as I can tell, it's not a Flatpak or Snap installation, as no packages with 
either flatpak or snap are installed on the affected system. The versions of 
Evolution as well as its dependencies used are as follows:

  dbus                        1.12.20-2              
  evolution                   3.38.3-1               
  evolution-common            3.38.3-1               
  evolution-data-server       3.38.3-1               
  libc6:amd64                 2.33-7                 
  libcamel-1.2-62:amd64       3.38.3-1               
  libclutter-gtk-1.0-0:amd64  1.8.4-4                
  libecal-2.0-1:amd64         3.38.3-1               
  libedataserver-1.2-25:amd64 3.38.3-1               
  libevolution                3.38.3-1               
  libglib2.0-0:amd64          2.66.8-1               
  libgtk-3-0:amd64            3.24.24-4+deb11u2      
  libical3:amd64              3.0.9-2                
  libnotify4:amd64            0.7.9-3                
  libsoup2.4-1:amd64          2.72.0-2               
  libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37:amd64  2.34.6-1~deb11u1       
  libxml2:amd64               2.9.10+dfsg-6.7+deb11u1
  psmisc                      23.4-2                 

Just in case this is relevant, here's also some general information about the 
affected system:

  OS: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) x86_64
  Kernel: 5.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64
  DE: GNOME 3.38.6
  WM: Mutter
  CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 4800H
  GPU: AMD ATI 04:00.0 Renoir
  Memory: 15480MiB

Any suggestions regarding what I could check or do to resolve this behaviour 
would be much appreciated.
