[Evolution] Bug#585921: evolution: Evolution unusable after upgrading to 2.30 due to reliable segfaults

[Jonathon Jongsma]

Package: evolution
Version: 2.30.1.2-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After upgrading to evolution 2.30.x, I have been completely unable to use it as
my mail client.  It starts up, and begins fetching and sync-ing my mail.  After
finishing the sync, it *always* segfaults.  I filed a bug upstream (with
backtrace) and the maintainer said that the trace looked to him like an ABI
mismatch issue (possibly due to debian packaging?).  See
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=619098 for more information.
