[Evolution-users] Evolution suddenly back to zero

This yields the same error:
unable to open file '/etc/dconf/db/site'
So it evidently refers to the file in the base file system.
Within the shell started by the above command ls -l yields total 0

That's what I meant.  All of the references to the longer path should have been to this.

That's what it says

This shows 4 evolution processes running under /usr/libexec (output attached) even though a search for evolution in KDE Discover under "Installed" shows only the flatpak installation.
What does this mean? Is it normal?

Thanks again for all your help!
