Recently on #Debian testing/unstable @EvolutionGnome 3.50.3 often quits unexpectedly. It does not appear to be a crash, the only thing I find in journal is

evolution[702232]: GFileInfo created without standard::display-name
evolution[702232]: file ../../../gio/gfileinfo.c: line 1721 (g_file_info_get_display_name): should not be reached
[9 seconds later] systemd[2323]: app-gnome-org.gnome.Evolution-702232.scope: Consumed 1min 28.636s CPU time.

Any idea what is happening here?
#evolution #gnome

in reply to Frehi

it’s an assertion failure caused by a violation of this precondition: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2934

You can file an issue against Evolution; it would be great if you could also gather a backtrace if the issue is reproducible: https://handbook.gnome.org/issues/stack-traces.html
