Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I got the same error after an update and fixed it by re-installing libebackend with `sudo apt-get install --reinstall libebackend-1.2-5`.
For some reason it had been deleted (probably from autoremove or an update). Hopefully this helps.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-shell - 3.6.1-3ubuntu2

---------------
gnome-shell (3.6.1-3ubuntu2) raring; urgency=low

  * Rebuild against new mutter

Yesterday I did a dist-upgrade in my Ubuntu 12.10, and apt removed evolution-data-server. Today, when I tried to enter my session, gnome-shell didn't start. Launching it manually showed an error when launching the calendar. I reinstalled manually evolution-data-server and everything worked fine again.

Please, be sure to add evolution-data-server in the dependencies of gnome-shell, to avoid these problems.

I'm not sure if I should launch a new bug report, since this one seems marked as "fix released"...

No, there's no need to open a new bug report. This bug is marked "fix released" for the current development release, 13.04 "Raring" but still open and "triaged" for Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal".

quantal has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the quantal task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".

It's Nov 2017 and gnome 3.26 now. The bug is reborn. Where did the 'fix' go? Why can't these bugs be quarantined since the fixes were done? The same bugs were fixed once and brought back always on the same project, over and over again. It seems the whole community are trying so hard to maintain all the packages as well as all the bugs, in the same time. When we talk about teamwork today, do we keep in mind teamwork begins from remembering history in a decent way?
