[Evolution] Bug#395417: evolution-data-server: importing .vcf replaces line breaks with literal \n in NOTE

[Patrick Ohly]

Package: evolution-data-server
Version: 1.8.1-2
Severity: important
Tags: experimental, patch

As discussed on the Evolution hackers mailing list under the subject "automated testing
of Evolution data server with SyncEvolution" I am filing this issue as a reminder that I have
a patch available for this upstream bug:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356176

See that report for a description and a test case. In a nutshell, when importing certain
.vcf files into 1.8.x extra backslashes might be added to the contact. This is a regression
compared to 1.6.3. It would be great if the one-line fix could be applied by Debian until
it makes it into an official update.
