Package: gcalcli
Version: 4.3.0-1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
X-Debbugs-Cc: j...@joshtriplett.org

Google no longer allows gcalcli to authenticate. Upstream recommends
manually creating a developer account and registering gcalcli as your
own app. This is a *much* more cumbersome setup process, and the simple
oauth2 workflow that gcalcli uses by default doesn't work with no
indication of why.

At a minimum, this should be documented and the flow for not having
authenticated yet should give better guidance to the user and not try an
authentication that won't work.
