Does anybody know what happend to the evolution email client ?
We use it company wide, as it comes with ews plugin. But when trying to install it just now I receive this error:
Package evolution is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
evolution-data-server
Package evolution-ews is not available, but is referred to by another package.

E: Package āevolutionā has no installation candidate
E: Package āevolution-ewsā has no installation candidate
It is really a shame, cause we need it very much. Iād be happy to get some knowledge what to do (maybe add a custom repo or things like that).
I checked availability via snap, but it is not available via snap either.
I think there might be something seriously wrong with my freshly installed Ubuntu, since I also encounter very strange messages when trying to install samba:
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...

OK, I did that, I also have only the first 4 boxes checked. I switched my download server to: Server for United States and updated my software catalog, but the error persists.
inxi is also not available for installation. I guess something went wrong during my installation. I will reinstall the client and get back to this post.
inxi is also in āuniverseā repository. in Software & Updates try to uncheck the 2nd box (universe) and close the GUI, then reopen and check again.
Ignore source code is ok.
I found the problem (housemade btw). I need firefox to import policies.json for my companies SSO and more other stuff. Snap firefox blocks some of the needed functionality and in order to block firefox installey by snap I added:
Package: *
Pin: release o=Ubuntu
Pin-Priority: -1
to /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla which lead to the aforementioned issues.
Thanks a lot to all people involved in finding the problem
Thatās a great catch on the wildcard pinning. Iām curious about the Snap limitation you mentioned regarding policies.json.
Does the Snap version of Firefox completely ignore the /etc/firefox/policies directory due to sandboxing, or is there a specific path inside the Snap container where we can mount those SSO policies? Iād prefer to stick to the stock Ubuntu install if possible, but we need SSO to work.
Iād be more than happy if we could get the snap firefox to work properly. The policies.json gets read, but the SSO just wonāt work. Allthough all regarding things are being imported from the json file. My policies are in the default path /etc/firefox/policies/policies.json.
I use the stable snap channel for firefox (as of today version 145.0.1-1 gets pulled). and about:policies shows all desired policies are available (bookmarks, certificates, extension settings, SSO servers) but as far as I can test right now, everything works except SSO.
