Kontact crashes after todays dist-upgrade

Already tried that, but as kmail and all the individual Pim components seem to work fine, I'm suspecting something specific affecting the Kontact "wrapper"

I rely heavily on Kontact and it is crashing on my system as well. I decided to wait 24 hours for the rest of the updates to come. Kinfocentre Summary shows KDE SC Version as 4.12.2 but About System shows KDELibs Version as 4.12.90. I am also hoping that with 4.12.90 they fix up Gwenview as it does not play mp4 files as it used to. Others may also hope that DragonPlayer will work as well!

Yup, not everything is upgraded to 4.13 beta (4.12.90). Also Kde 4.13 uses baloo instead of nepomuk...so the transition can cause some bugs in nepomuk using applications (especially if everything is not upgraded). You could try disabling Nepomuk for a moment to see if that makes a difference.

[claydoh]

There are still things coming in, (nepomuk stuff, so likely unrelated to Kontact itself crashing) so perhaps a missing bit is still on the way

Confirmed. Kmail runs. KAdressBook runs. KOrganizer runs. Kontact crashes.

[claydoh]

kmail, and all the other PIM components do run fine standalone. Kontact itself does crash.

[Snowhog]

Yeah, I'm guessing that todays updates broke something that makes Kontact work, at least, here. Kontact worked fine yesterday. So, if my guess is true, then a subsequent update should fix what got broken today.

[claydoh]

ooh I see a lot of kde 4.13 (beta) stuff rolling in, and perhaps some Qt stuff too....

[claydoh]

Nope.
I'll update again and check, though.

Yes, many here don't use Kontact.

My system is fully dist-upgraded, and a dist-upgrade was done this evening. A reboot was indicated when it finished, and I rebooted. After logging back in I launched Kontact and it immediately crashed. I've submitted a bug report at: Bug 332345 - Kontact/Kmail crashes on launch

For those who do use Kontact, and are on 14.04 (KDE 4.12.90), are you experiencing this too?
