Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Affected: all Versions of Evolution I ever used (currently: 2.22.3.1)
Distro: Ubuntu Hardy (with all updates up to Jun 08 2009)
Description:
I once used Evolution with default (English) locale. Later, I switched from
Debian to Ubuntu and began using evolution with German locale. Some time after
switching, I recognized that the default section folders in the sidebar had
been duplicated. That means: In the Address book section I have a category "On
this Computer" and "Auf diesem Computer" (the latter being the same as the
first in English). Moreover I have "Personal", respectively "Persönlich"
Address books in both of them which apparently are pointing to the same
physical database.
I attached a screenshot for visualization of the problem.
In the Calendar and Task list this behaviour gets very irritating
because all "Personal" appointments show up twice in the calendar until
I switch one of the duplicate translations off manually. Moreover, I can
no longer change settings like Calendar/Task entry colors for "Personal"
section (They are pink, I hate pink :-]).
In the screenshot you can nicely see, that one of the "Personal" localisations
has green color icon attached, the other has none. the entries of the
"Non-color" localisation appear in pink (see screenshot). Which one of the
localizations is green appears to be randomly changing (probably a race
condition at startup).
If I try to change settings for the section folder that has no color icon,
Evolution crashes.
I'd really like to get rid of the "On this Computer" section permanently
but since it is a default section it can not be removed. Even if it
could I would be afraid to lose data because it points to the same data
as the localized section folder.
What can I do to get rid of those duplicate entries in my calendar and
tasks? Maybe there is an XML file I can manipulate or anything else?
