My evolution crashed last night while receiving e-mail. Attempts to restart it resulted in multiple copies starting. After killing those jobs from command line, I started evolution from the command line. I received the following errors.

(evolution:16085): camel-WARNING **: Failed to initialize NSS SQL database in sql:/etc/pki/nssdb: NSS error -8187

(evolution:16085): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type 'CamelEwsStore'

(evolution:16085): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_add_interface_static: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_INSTANTIATABLE (instance_type)' failed

(evolution:16085): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion 'result != 0' failed

What do these errors mean?

How do I get evolution working again?

Thank you, John

Not sure if same problem but the OP had a fix for his machine.

Not sure what you mean by OP.

If one goes to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...n/+bug/1347437 and moves to the #9 entry, there is a corrected *.deb file that works once you remove all previous versions of evolution.
