Bug#1137013: gnome-calendar: Segfault when displaying "Birthdays & Anniversaries" calendar

[Alex Canepa]

Package: gnome-calendar
Version: 50.0-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: alex at canepa.me

Dear Maintainer,

`gnome-calendar` is crashing when attempting to synchronize and display the birthdays calendar.

I noticed that my calendar had stopped displaying birthday events for contacts in my connected Google Account. Per an upstream bug (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-contacts/-/work_items/370), I followed their advice to (temporarily) install the Evolution GUI app and enable the "Birthdays" field for that address book. I then uninstalled `evolution` and refreshed my calendars.

The birthdays now correctly display in month view but not in week view. Additionally, the applications crashes when I attempt to move forwards or backwards in time in either view. Below are the relevant lines from `journalctl`.

I'm not sure whether this bug also involves `evolution-data-server` or `gnome-contacts`, but neither of those appeared in `journalctl`. Let me know if I should use the debugger or take other steps to provide more helpful information.

Thanks in advance.
