failed-impish. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Title:
  Google Contacts API Deprecated

Status in evolution-data-server:
  Unknown
Status in evolution package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in evolution-data-server package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in evolution source package in Impish:
  Fix Committed
Status in evolution-data-server source package in Impish:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  * 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?
