Bug#1009261: evolution: Evolution bwrap problem - may fail to print or hang in startup

[H.-Dirk Schmitt]

Package: evolution
Version: 3.38.3-1
Severity: grave
X-Debbugs-Cc: none, H.-Dirk Schmitt <dirk at computer42.org>

Evolution stopped printing on several installations.
Also currently evoltution is hanging on startup.

The analysis of the startup problem  is triggered that here the socket `/run/user/${UID}/at-spi/bus_1` is already
existing bevore evolution startup. Manual removal of the socket mitigates the startup problem.

A better mitigation is avoiding the bubblewrap (bwarp) sandboxing at all. (Only intendend for flatpack? Why it is used
for traditional debian packages?)

To avoid bubblewrap sandboxing start evolution with 'WEBKIT_FORCE_SANDBOX=0 /usr/bin/evolution`

Avoiding the bubblewarp sandbox also enable the printing again and would also solve
bug #990325 –  evolution: printer not recognised
