[20:13] <dr4c4n> I'm not sure if other people are having the same issue on 17.04 that I am, but a recent upgrade just broke the viewpane in evolution on ubuntu gnome
[20:15] <dr4c4n> I found a post on an arch forum that describes the exact issue I'm having, but I am unsure how to "downgrade" the package
[20:15] <dr4c4n> https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=223046
[20:15] <flocculant> not seen that mentioned here
[20:16] <dr4c4n> this is the link where the person is having the same issue as me in arch, but I tried apt-cache search for the package but I can't find it
[20:17] <dr4c4n> I would really like to use the integrated pgp features, but at the moment I'm unable to actually read my mail
[20:23] <dr4c4n> does anyone know how to downgrade or find that particular package?
[20:24] <flocculant> dr4c4n: first perhaps you should make sure you've got an install that's a bit out of date - or earlier version so you don't get caught out - but I'd try grabbing 'latest' working from http://packages.ubuntu.com and dpkg -i that version
[20:25] <flocculant> I've had to do similar with lightdm to prove when a bug occurred
[20:27] <dr4c4n> flocculant: the problem is i'm not sure what it is called, as I apt-cache searched for the package, but I do not believe it's named the same thing on ubuntu as it is on arch
[20:27] <flocculant> btw - not using gnome/ubuntu here so don't actually see the issue
[20:28] <dr4c4n> basically the view pane of the email shows up as completely white and if you mouse over the content, it is still there, but you can't see it
[20:29] <flocculant> dr4c4n: probably not - but look for 2.14.3 perhaps
[20:29] <flocculant> as I said - not ubuntu nor gnome here - don't use evolution :)
[20:30] <dr4c4n> I just installed Thunderbird, but wanted to test out the integrated pgp key content for evolution.. actually found a bug in an old version for email encryption on evolution
[20:31] <dr4c4n> (and wanted to see if that was fixed in the latest version)
[20:31] <flocculant> only zesty evoluton bug is bug 1654045
[20:31] <flocculant> reported
[20:31] <dr4c4n> also this bug can't be automatically reported, as the program doesn't crash, you just can't see the email view pane.
[20:31] <flocculant> ubuntu-bug evolution then
[20:32] <dr4c4n> ok thanks, I'll do that.. and then try to figure out how to downgrade that package, but first I need to find it's name
[20:32] <dr4c4n> is there any log of apt-get update
[20:32] <dr4c4n> ?
[20:33] <flocculant> yea > /var/log/apt
[20:33] <dr4c4n> awesome I will check there now, and find the name of the package.
[20:33] <flocculant> check either history or term
[20:33] <flocculant> depends how you do things there
[20:34] <flocculant> anyway - check http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=webkit2gtk&suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names
[20:34] <flocculant> ignore -dev, -dbg and -doc
[20:35] <flocculant> look for a likely version, grab it, dpkg -i it, apt upgrade if it fails will get you to current
[20:35] <dr4c4n> I think that I don't want current as that is the one that broke the viewpane.
[20:36] <flocculant> yea but if it breaks worse - get back to current
[20:36] <flocculant> what you need to be doing is prove 'when' it breaks
[20:36] <flocculant> you ARE running a dev version of *buntu :)
[20:44] <dr4c4n> so first off I'm reporting the bug, and then I'm going to try to downgrade that package
[20:45] <flocculant> dr4c4n: well
[20:45] <flocculant> dr4c4n: first off I would downgrade the package to when it works
[20:46] <flocculant> then I would upgrade and report when it was broken - then you can at least state the last version of 'package' when it worked for you
[20:47] <flocculant> bug 1656399 is one I did for light-locker - which turned out to be lightdm and affecting ubuntu as well as xubuntu
[20:48] <dr4c4n> I'm still trying to find that webkit package, and it's not being shown in the dpkg or apt logs
[20:49] <dr4c4n> so I'm not sure how to fix my issue..
[20:51] <flocculant> dr4c4n: not sure how to help - did it 'stop' showing e-mails?
[20:52] <flocculant> or was it always like it - in which case perhaps you installed with broken version?
[20:53] <flocculant> don't use evolution - so don't know what's gone on during the cycle
[20:53] <dr4c4n> so evolution was working perfectly fine
[20:53] <flocculant> other people are more likely to
[20:53] <dr4c4n> I did an apt-get update / upgrade
[20:53] <dr4c4n> after the upgrade, something was installed that made the message pane not visible, what I mean is the information is there, but the entire pane is completely white
[20:54] <dr4c4n> and I can't select it to see it
[20:54] <dr4c4n> but when I mouse over, it shows content is there because in the status window it shows that you can do information with what is currently under the mouse.
[20:54] <flocculant> yea - I know what you're saying - do you at least know which date it was?
[20:54] <dr4c4n> today
[20:55] <dr4c4n> I haven't done an update for a while, but as of friday I could see my mail, now today I can't
[20:56] <flocculant> ok - so how do you upgrade packages? manually? let the system do whatever it wants? was it a security update? have you stopped auto security updates?
[20:56] <dr4c4n> I upgrade packages manually
[20:56] <dr4c4n> typing in apt-get update, apt-get upgrade
[20:56] <flocculant> if it happened today then it is logged - find the logs :)
[20:56] <dr4c4n> apt-get dist-upgrade
[20:56] <flocculant> ok - so should be in the term.log
[20:58] <flocculant> dr4c4n: cat /var/log/apt/term.log |pastebinit
[21:00] <dr4c4n> thanks, doing so now
[21:02] <dr4c4n> http://pastebin.com/dWNUGaYR
[21:02] <dr4c4n> pretty sure it's line 343
[21:07] <flocculant> ok - so grab an earlier version
[21:08] <flocculant> must be someone else who can help there if you're not sure
[21:08] <dr4c4n> so the package is libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37
[21:09] <dr4c4n> but I can't see any previous packages
[21:09] <dr4c4n> when I do apt-cache showpkg
[21:10] <dr4c4n> I'm about to leave it, and hope that on the next upgrade it fixes things..
[21:10] <dr4c4n> for now I'll switch to thunderbird.
[21:10] <dr4c4n> I have no idea how to individually downgrade
[21:12] <flocculant> and that's what causes issues - if you can't work out what's happened - and then can't report issue - evolution will still be broken for you unless it fixes some other way
[21:12] <flocculant> and the rest
[21:12]  * flocculant blames DalekSec 
[21:13] <dr4c4n> it says the latest version of the package was installed because of a security issue
[21:13] <dr4c4n> at least on xenial
[21:13] <dr4c4n> http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37-gtk2
[21:14] <dr4c4n> there's no earlier version available in apt, which is the recommended method of downgrading..
[21:14] <flocculant> so report a bug against that package - manually if nned be
[21:15] <flocculant> at least you know which package to downgrade to prove it now
[21:16] <dr4c4n> yes
[21:16] <dr4c4n> the problem is
[21:16] <dr4c4n> figuring out how to downgrade
[21:16] <flocculant> yea - you'll need to find the package and then dpkg -i
[21:16] <flocculant> which I said some time ago
[21:18] <dr4c4n> alright thanks
