What changed between Trusty and Utopic to cause the clock to crash? I
have 'gnome-panel' running in multiple Precise and Trusty machines using
'indicator-applet' and gnome-panel-clock rather than using 'indicator-
applet-complete' and I've never had the clock applet crash in Trusty or
Precise.

If it must stay this way it's not a huge deal because the work around(s)
are fairly simple. I say multiple because the first assumes the user
already installed 'gnome-panel' including all of 'evolution*' in which
case the user can just purge all the unwanted 'evolution*' packages
except 'evolution-common'. The second is simply to install 'evolution-
common' using the "--no-install-recommends" option before installing
'gnome-panel'.

I originally suspected that Edubuntu was going to release a Utopic
version so they'd have to presumably rebuild in such a manner as to not
ship both thunderbird and evolution but I now understand that Edubuntu
may be releasing only LTS builds going forward so they'd have time to
sort that out before 16.04 lands in the distant future.

If you plan on not fixing this I'd prefer you mark it Won't fix rather
than Invalid. Like I said I've never had the clock crash w/o evolution
installed, is there a bug report regarding such a crash?

  Even without recommends evolution wanted to be installed:

  Description-en: launcher and docking facility for GNOME
   The GNOME Panel is an essential part of the GNOME Desktop, providing
   toolbar-like “panels” which can be attached to the sides of your desktop.
   They are used to launch applications and embed a number of other
   functions, such as quick launch icons, the clock, the notification area,
   volume controls and the battery charge indicator, and utilities ranging
   from weather forecast to system monitoring.
