Evolution not starting after upgrade

Asked by zak wylde

I upgraded to 16.10 from 16.04 yesterday and since when Evolution won't even start. I don't know where the problem is but when I run 'evolution' in a terminal I get this:

'[libprotobuf FATAL google/protobuf/stubs/common.cc:61] This program requires version 3.0.0 of the Protocol Buffer runtime library, but the installed version is 2.6.1. Please update your library. If you compiled the program yourself, make sure that your headers are from the same version of Protocol Buffers as your link-time library. (Version verification failed in "/build/libphonenumber-ClRhsc/libphonenumber-7.1.0/cpp/src/phonenumbers/phonemetadata.pb.cc".)
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'google::protobuf::FatalException'
  what(): This program requires version 3.0.0 of the Protocol Buffer runtime library, but the installed version is 2.6.1. Please update your library. If you compiled the program yourself, make sure that your headers are from the same version of Protocol Buffers as your link-time library. (Version verification failed in "/build/libphonenumber-ClRhsc/libphonenumber-7.1.0/cpp/src/phonenumbers/phonemetadata.pb.cc".)'

which seems to indicate some conflict between versions of libprotobuf? both libprotobuf10 and libprotobuf-lite9v5 seem to be installed so i wonder if that's the issue?

thx.

@Andrew fyi I submitted a bug for this (#1644598) this p.m. - i was/am getting a bit desperate to get at my mail etc..

Thought you might want to know in case you want to leave it for whoever picks up the bug (presuming someone will ;) ). Thx.

No output from "sudo dpkg --audit" is a positive sign (NO broken dependencies).

The ldd command shows

...
This is a bit weird, because you have (also) libprotobuf-lite.so.10 installed, and in my opinion that should be accessed instead of libprotobuf-lite.so.9

In any case, the package libprotobuf-lite9v5:amd64 2.6.1-1.3 is a leftover from xenial, and should not be needed on your yakkety system. Maybe uninstalling it solves your problem. For checking the possible consequences of removing that package, please provide the output of

apt-get --simulate remove libprotobuf-lite9v5

ok, the output of the simulation is not really helpful (it is known that it is in some cases shows strange results, see the disclaimer).

You should try really removing libprotobuf-lite9v5 , unless you know about a special need for this package on your system.
sudo apt-get --purge remove libprotobuf-lite9v5

And then verify whether evolution is working, and check
ldd /usr/bin/evolution | grep protobuf

Furthermore you should do some more cleanup and delete the 60 packages that are marked as obsolete by the package management system with the command

sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

I'm not convinced that the below command did anything - this is what I get:

sudo apt-get --purge remove libprotobuf-lite9v5

Strange. A previous output showed that both libaccount-plugin-1.0-0 and libgtk-3-0 are already installed.
Why does this now complain that it is not installable?

What do you get for

sudo dpkg --purge libprotobuf-lite9v5

or - if that fails with an error message - for

sudo apt-get --purge --no-install-recommends remove libprotobuf-lite9v5 libaccount-plugin-flickr+ libaccount-plugin-facebook+ libaccount-plugin-1.0-0+ libgtk-3-0+

ok, finally meaningful error messages.

Most of the packages mentioned are obsolete packages from xenial.
I recommend that as a first step you do cleanup and then try again to check the remaining dependency problems.

ok, already a bit better.

I recommend to do further cleanup by removing obsolete config files from already-deleted packages:

dpkg --list | grep "^rc" | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs sudo dpkg --purge

and then re-try

You have a version of libmirserver41 for xenial, that has a higher number than the version for yakkety. This now does not allow an automatic upgrade to the yakkety version and causes the dependency conflicts.
I assume that this xenial version of libmirserver41 was installed from a PPA.

Can you tell anything about this? Which PPA did you have enabled, and what packages did you install from that source?

What is the output of

mir? Could that be anything to do with Unity8? I seem to recall installing some version a while ago to see what Unity is going to look like. I may have followed something like http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/04/ubuntu-16-04-unity-8-desktop-progress-video

After updating to 16.10 I tried Unity8 but in fact I see nothing (just a black screen - I'm guessing driver issues) but anyway ...

Yes, your memories seem right. The PPA mentioned in that omgubuntu document (ppa:ci-train-ppa-service/stable-phone-overlay) contains these package versions.

I see two possibilities:
1. uninstall everything that came from that PPA
or
2. re-activate that PPA as repository source, and update all packages

Both options should lead to a situation that libprotobuf-lite9v5 is no more needed and can be removed.
And hopefully evolution will then correctly work.

@Manfred I couldn't remove it with 'sudo apt purge ppa:ci-train-ppa-service/stable-phone-overlay' (in fact I couldn't even locate it) but in the 'software updater' I ticked 'disable on upgrade to yakkety' which then triggered some updates (interestingly, one of them was to do with Evolution). I installed them, rebooted and now Evolution is loading !!!!!!

Thanks so much for your help :)
