Lost task and memo window in Evolution

I'm running Evolution 2.22.3.1 on Debian Lenny. While I was using the calendar, Evolution crashed. When I restarted it, the memo and task lists were blank. The relevant files are still present. (For example, .evolution/memos/local/system/journal.ics is still on the hard drive.) Any hints or links that will help me make the memo and task list visible again? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: How do you get aptitude to do what you want?

But gman is not even installed. Do you mean the output from "full-upgrade"? I would guess that gman is being pulled in by some other upgrade and yelp is affected somehow, but I don't really have enough information to figure out what's happening. > When I mark yelp as upgradeable, it says that it would break > scrollkeeper. Because yelp declares this in its control file. You need to upgrade scrollkeeper to something above 0.7. > So I tell it to purge scrollkeeper, but it again says it > breaks some dependencies: Half of Gnome needs scrollkeeper, apparently. > * gnome-applets-data depends on scrollkeeper (provided by rarian-compat > 0.8.1-2, rarian-compat 0.8.1-1) > > * gnome-panel-data depends on scrollkeeper (provided by rarian-compat > 0.8.1-2, rarian-compat 0.8.1-1) > > * gnome-system-monitor depends on scrollkeeper (provided by rarian-compat > 0.8.1-2, rarian-compat 0.8.1-1) > > * gnome-user-guide depends on scrollkeeper (provided by rarian-compat > 0.8.1-2, rarian-compat 0.8.1-1) > > * synaptic depends on scrollkeeper (provided by rarian-compat 0.8.1-2, > rarian-compat 0.8.1-1) > > > Now I don't need those packages, but when I mark them to be purged and > press g, aptitude says it wants to install rarian-compat and to keep > above packages, except for synaptic, at their current state.

It sounds like you still had unresolved dependencies when you pressed "g". aptitude will automatically pick whatever the most recently calculated dependency resolution was when you do that. You can disable this behavior by setting Aptitude::Auto-Fix-Broken to "false" if you prefer to resolve everything by hand.
