Hi - Syncevolution now quits, before producing any console output, with a SIGABRT. This apparently happens since I upgraded evolution and associated libraries to 3.18.5.1-1+b1 this morning, the only change being "Rebuild against libical2". It seems to me that this may well be related to this bug, syncevolution now being incompatible with the rest of the evolution ecosystem.
The sync log file ends with the lines: [2016-05-16 18:58:50.120] stderr: syncevolution: /tmp/buildd/libical-1.0.1/src/libical/icalarray.c:146: icalarray_element_at: Assertion `(unsigned int)position < array->num_elements' failed.
