Bug#668039: iceowl: Upgrade to latest sid makes all calendar data unavailable

April 08th, 2012 - 10:00 am ET by Neil Roeth | Report spam
Package: iceowl
Version: 1.0~b2-7
Severity: grave

I upgraded to the latest sid packages today and when I restarted iceowl
afterward, none of my calendar data was displayed. When I started it
from a terminal window, I got this output:

It appeared to be having trouble getting timezones, but the
calendar-timezones package is installed, as shown below. I attempted to
set the timezone in Iceowl Preferences, but it displayed an empty list
of timezones. I attempted to remove and install iceowl and
calendar-timezones, and got this message about iceowl:


Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package iceowl is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'iceowl' has no installation candidate


I reinstalled iceowl from the deb file on my system and reinstalled the
latest calendar-timezones, but the problem remained - I still could not
see my calendar data.

I again removed the two packages iceowl and calendar-timezones, then
installed iceowl and an older version of calendar-timezones (8.0-2+b1
for amd64) and that restored my calendar data as well as made a list of
timezones available in the Preferences. So, it seems the newer version
of calendar-timezones breaks iceowl's timezone handling.

Let me know if you need more information. Thanks.

Thanks, I didn't realize standalone iceowl had been removed from
Debian. I successfully switched to iceowl-extension. In order to do
that, I had to install iceowl and the older version of
calendar-timezones, export the calendars, then install iceowl-extension
and the newer version of calendar-timezones and import the calendars.
This is not something I would think a typical user would be capable of
doing. I expect some users will be surprised when they upgrade to the
next Debian release and they have no way to retrieve any of their iceowl
calendar data. It would be nice if there were some way to alert them to
export their calendars before calendar-timezones is upgraded and makes
iceowl unusable. Maybe a transitional iceowl package with a pre-conf
step that just gives them the choice to either quit so they can export
their calendars, or continue?
