I recently switched from KDE to GNOME (I happened to to this on the same day as the baselayout-2 change, so that may also be related), and which I unmerged all the KDE dependencies (and added -kde, -qt, -qt4 to USE flags) I noticed that whenever I start Evolution it takes pauses for about 15 seconds with "Formatting Message..." instead of the actual email displayed. This happens for all messages when I start evolution, but after that all messages display instantly (including new messages that came in while I was running Evolution).

The only thing I can see that is different is that I now the process "/usr/libexec/e-addressbook-factory" now uses 100% CPU. This persists after Evolution is closed, and I have to kill -9 it in order to make it go away. Running e-addressbook-factory causes it to use 100% CPU (I left it for about 10 minutes and no change). The output (the program remains running) is

Code:

e-data-server-Message: adding type `EBookBackendGoogleFactory'
e-data-server-Message: adding type `EBookBackendGroupwiseFactory'
e-data-server-Message: adding type `EBookBackendWebdavFactory'
e-data-server-Message: adding type `EBookBackendFileFactory'
e-data-server-Message: adding type `EBookBackendVCFFactory'


CRTL-C properly kills e-addressbook-factory.

I can't seem to find anything about this on google (just a closed bug for Ubuntu that was never responded to by the developers).

Since removing KDE I have ensured that `revdep-rebuild -- -av`, `emerge -av --depclean`, and `emerge -avuND world` don't have anything to do. In addition, I tried rebooting the computer.

Thanks

I don't know the actual cause of the problem, but `emerge --emptytree evolution` fixed it for me (I also removed my entire Evolution configuration, but that didn't seem to make a difference).

Good luck!

That is insane idea in my case :-/
system wants to rebuild over 400-packages; no way.
I've found better idea:

Evolution is getting too buggy, it is time to move on.
