[Evolution] Bug#374022: evolution: Evolution calendar alarms do not work

Package: evolution
Version: 2.6.1-3
Severity: important

I have a number of appointments set up in my evolution calendar. A while
ago I realized that the alarms defined for these appointments do not
work at all. I do not get any alarms/notifications as I used to roughly
three months ago.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Define an appointment in the Evolution calendar
2. Define an alarm for it
3. Wait for the time for it to go off

Actual Results:
Nothing happens, no notification at all.

Expected Results:
A notification message should pop up.
