with "Object ID already exists"

Package: evolution
Version: 2.6.3-2
Severity: normal
Evolution has troubles editing calendar events when they use the
recurrence option. Here is a brief description of how to reproduce:
1. create an event, activate recurrence, and save it
2. reopen this event and change something to it
3. save 'This Instance Only' or 'All Instances'
The error message pops up: "Object ID already exists", and there is no
easy way to keep these changes, appart from discarding them, deleting
the event and creating a new one.
All sorts of other funky things occur when trying to edit a recurring
event directly in the main calendar window. The only action that seems
to work is "Delete All Occurences".
Thanks, Paul
