if you want to know what broke it, then you should take the time to compile in some debugging symbols (just in evolution and associated libs, not the entire world!) This would have been quicker than rebuilding absolutely everything! You obviously have time, as you just did an emerge -e world ;) Unfortunately I don't think you'll be better off blindly fixing it - what if it happens again? What if a similar thing happens to a different package? Just switching mail-clients wont help - any package is potentially open to crashing. Take the time now to find out why, and save yourself time in the future, IMHO :) but glad it's working again. cya, -- Iain Buchanan <iaindb at netspace dot net dot au> Misfortunes arrive on wings and leave on foot. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
