[pkg-kolab] Bug#748614: Bug#748614: [libkolabxml0] looses information about birthdays

[Diane Trout]

Hello,

I duplicated the issue with libkolabxml 0.8.4 and libkolab 0.4.2.

It looks like birthday isn't being serialized to the kolab mails. I suspect 
the birthday still shows up on the local machine because its cached in 
akonadi.

Upstream has new versions of libkolabxml & libkolab that we need to update to 
for kdepim. I'd like to make sure that's done first and then check again for 
this bug.
