Package: calendarserver
Version: 3.2+dfsg-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Actions performed on a calendar need to be performed twice to succeed.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start iCal with the calendar already configured, and a fresh install of
calendarserver with default settings.
2. Create an event; its description is New Event by default.
3. Change the name of the event to Test; after a few seconds, the name goes
back to New Event
4. Change the name of the avant to Test again; now the change sticks
Changing the time of an event, its location, its note, or any other property
gives the same result.
I have captured the traffic between the client and the server (see attached
file). It can be seen that the client is sending conditional PUT requests. Half
of those requests fail, because after every successful request, the server does
not provide the client with the new ETag. So the next request fails. The client
needs to send a GET request to get the new ETag and be able to place a new PUT
request that will succeed.
