[Evolution] Bug#654711: evolution: ICal publishing causes Evolution SEGSEGV crash in libical pvl_head()

[Kai Juse]

Package: evolution
Version: 3.2.2-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch

Dear Maintainer,

I experience a crash of evolution 3.2.2 instantly on every startup (just
see first drawing of the main window) after upgrade from 3.0.3-3+b1. It
appears to be related to ICal publishing and can be avoided by these
workarounds:
* Disable Plugins alltogether on startup: "evolution --disable-eplugin"
* "break" the publishing plugin "/usr/lib/evolution/3.2/plugins# mv
liborg-gnome-publish-calendar.so liborg-gnome-publish-calendar.so.OFF"

I submitted/updated related upstream report
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664370#c6 with what I believe
to be a patch fixing the issue.

Cheers,
Kai
