It looks like Evolution is asking D-Bus about Evolution Data Server
(specifically its “Sources5” service). Unfortunately, D-Bus can’t find
this service.
It could be that you need to install “evolution-data-server” in your
profile.
However, if you are using GDM, that may not be enough. GDM starts D-Bus
in a way that makes it ignorant of services in your user profile. For
now, if you include “evolution-data-server” in the “packages” field of
your system configuration file, it should work.
For a nicer fix, we should improve the way D-Bus is started. Maybe we
should start it from a login shell, reusing “exec-from-login-shell”.
