[Evolution] Bug#401814: evolution-data-server: Unable to delete calendar entries from CalDAV server

[Andrew Ruthven]

Package: evolution-data-server
Version: 1.6.3-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Hi,

evolution-data-server has a bug where it sends a If-None-Match header
when attempting to delete an entry from a CalDAV server.  This should
be If-Match.

This bug has been fixed by a one-line patch which is included in the 2.9.3
release of Evolution.

I've attached the patch to this bug report. As it makes Evolution somewhat
unusable with a CalDAV server, it would be great if this could make etch.

Please see bugzilla for further details:
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349573

Cheers!
