latest glibc update breaks Evolution(CentOS 5.6) - inittux - 2011-04-19
After recently updating to CentOS 5.6 I came across the problem that my evolution wouldn't start up anymore.
I went an searched and found out that more people are having the same problem as me. The problem is that
the latest version of glibc breaks evolution.
here's the bugreport
here's the topic of how to fix the problem
It's recommended that you do as post #3 says. Don't upgrade to 5.6. Do the following first:
add: exclude=glibc*2.5-58.el5_6.2 nscd*2.5-58.el5_6.2 xorg-x11-server-utils-7.1-5.el5_6.1 to /etc/yum.conf
then you can update and evolution works. If you have already updated you need to downgrade first but it's all in the topic :)
