Package: evolution
Version: 2.22.3.1-1
Severity: important
Justification: once the calendars are stuck, a whole part of the
application is dead
When using remote calendars accessed over CalDAV/https on a pair of
davical
servers, evolution can paint itself in a corner where it will then
absolutely refuse to access said calendars.
Steps to reproduce:
prerequisites
the only network link (say, Wifi and/or 3G) is transient and managed by
network-manager
it MAY be possible that this procedure only reproduces the issue if evo
has been deep-closed (evo+EDS both down, e.g reboot) while online and
with an active connection.
procedure:
* start a fresh GDM session with no network connections active, or make
sure there are no network connections active and kill -9 all evolution
components
* click on the GNOME clock widget to display the calendar
* hide the calendar
* start evo. It will (correctly, at this point) show as offline
* establish the network connection. Evolution should pick up the
connection immediately. IMAP or POP mailboxes should typically
start syncing.
* go to the calendar panel. Try to access (caldav) calendars.
Regardless of the status of the "make available offline" checkbox,
Evo will stubbornly refuse to display the calendars, claiming (wrongly)
that these have not been made or requested for offline use.
Cycling the "online/offline" button changes nothing (except more
traffic on the POP/IMAP front)
workaround procedure:
* once the network connection is established, ensure evo is in
online state, then stop it.
* ensure, a -9 signal ready at hand, that EDS is down as well.
* start evo again; it should now pick the calendars up again.
Thanks in advance
