Package: libebook1.2-9
Version: 2.30.3-2
File: libebook
Severity: important

When using the e_book_get_changes() function on Debian Squeeze, I am unable
to get it to return any changes, even if modifications are made to the
data via evolution.

This bug, along with some test code, was reported in Ubuntu at the following
URL, but did not get a satisfactory answer:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/658459

This bug seems to also be in stable Debian Squeeze.

I tested my own code on Debian Sid, with version 3.0.3, and it worked, so
it seems Squeeze-specific.

Note that this will affect other software that relies on this function
for checkpoint-style changes, such as opensync-plugin-evolution.
