Description Ronny Standtke 2007-08-16 10:31:50 UTC
Version:           1.9.5 (using KDE 3.5.7, Debian Package 4:3.5.7.dfsg.1-1 (lenny/sid))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18-4-686

In our company the home folders were switched from NFS to CIFS. All KDE users suddenly had severe issues with Kontact. It crashes on startup with the following backtrace:

-----------------

After several tries Kontact somehow manages to start up but presents a long list of new mail folders, all named like e.g. cifs4fe4, cifs5c46, cifs5d5f.
This is somewhat catastrophic as the decision to drop NFS in favor of CIFS is probably irrevocable.
Comment 1 Tommi Tervo 2007-08-16 11:28:12 UTC
According to backtrace this crash should be fixed.

Are you sure that your packages are from KDE 3.5.7? Kmail version should be 1.9.7

Yes, I am sure, I used the assistant from the help menu! This is current Debian testing. The package kdepim is still 4:3.5.5.dfsg.1-6, while kdelibs is already 4:3.5.7.dfsg.1-1.
Comment 3 Thomas McGuire 2007-08-16 18:19:48 UTC
>The package kdepim is still 4:3.5.5
This bug is fixed in KDEPIM 3.5.7, so you have to upgrade.
