[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#641271: orage can't handle timezone-information any more

[Klaumi Klingsporn]

Package: orage
Version: 4.8.1-2+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

As described in Bug # 474588 orage doesn't ship its own timezone files since version 4.8. But now orage can't handle timezone information in calendar files any more and it is impossible to select or change timezone in the preferences-dialogue (there is nothing to select!).

This is an upstream-known bug (see: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7929 ) caused by a bug of libical. The only solution seems to be to reenable the local libical (needs compiling and linking from the source).

It would be nice if this could be done in the debian-package, because it's better to have orage ship its own timezone-files but full functionality than half functionality of the programm without its own timezone-files ;-)

Thanks for maintaining the package!

Klaumi
