kontact segfaults

Legacy Netrunner 17

Hello,
I am experiencing kontact crashing when a new mail, or a mail forward is attempted. Replying to a mail works.

The application segfaults - report below for the attempt to create a new mail.

Any idea how to correct, please,

For others who may have the same problem

This is solved by updating kdepim to 15.08.3

:wink:

Can you detail how you updated kdepim to 15.08.3? Did you use the Kubuntu ppa or some other method?
more info found here:
https://www.kubuntu.org/news/plasma-5-4-3-and-applications-15-08-3-for-kubuntu-15-10/

I would hesitate adding Kubuntu specific ppas to Netrunner without first asking about possible conflicts.

Apologies for not including the details.

In the absence of any reply to my post, I searched for similar experiences on the net.
Lots of bugs reported on this problem with fix using new version.

This suggested adding the Kubuntu Updates ppa which I did. I also was wary about adding a ppa, but as I use kontact all the time, it was worth the risk.

Seems to work all right though.

Thanks for replying. I have been plagued by the same bug so I think I might try adding the ppa and updating kdepim. It would be great to have kontact working again.

Let me know how it goes - always interested.
