Bug#926212: gnome-shell crashed (segfault)

[Guenter Grodotzki]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.30.2-3
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I was trying to print an email from evolution

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

gnome-shell automatically restarted

   * What was the outcome of this action?

-

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

-


Via dmesg:

[39719.061358] gnome-shell[1279]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fd4fa6ae3bf sp
00007ffcf4dbaea0 error 4 in libgnome-shell.so[7fd4fa6a6000+1f000]

Unfortunately due to the crash it seems evolution has a corrupted mail
database.
