The issue is fixed with 3.42 in the current Ubuntu serie, I'm working on
backporting the change to impish, later series will also need to be
fixed

** Description changed:

+ * Impact
+ The google contacts integration with the GNOME component will stop working 
since it relies on an API which is going to be shutdown
+ 
+ * Testcase
+ - use evolution
+ - add a google account
+ - go the contacts section
+ 
+ The contacts stored on the google account should be listed, no error
+ should be displayed
+ 
+ * Regression potential
+ The patch changes the google contact backend so any potential issue is likely 
to be with contacts integration.
+ 
+ --------------------------------

  I opened Evolution today and a red banner appeared on top with the
  following message:
  
  > Failed to connect address book “<em...@gmail.com> : Contacts”
  
  > Invalid request URI or header, or unsupported nonstandard parameter:
  Contacts API is being deprecated. Migrate to People API to retain
  programmatic access to Google Contacts. See
  https://developers.google.com/people/contacts-api-migration.
  
  I found the upstream bug report for this[0], which references the commit[1] 
that fixes it.
  However, that commit is in release 3.42.0, whereas Ubuntu 21.10 currently has 
3.40.4-1. Is it possible to backport this commit so that Evolution will 
continue to work properly?
