Bug Description

[ Description ]

Google changed their expected date format to fix a bug which libgdata was working around. We don't need the workaround any more.

[ Fix ]

This is fixed in 0.16.1. I think we should take this update, as it includes other bugfixes too. I think it falls under the GNOME MRE. If not, we can cherry-pick this one fix.

This is in vivid already.

[ QA ]

If you get the below error, check that upgrading to the new libgdata fixes it for you.

[ Original Report ]

Hello,

When trying to synchronise Google Contacts with Evolution, I am getting the error message:

The backend for this address book was unable to parse this query. GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._e_2dclient_2derror_2dquark.Code16: Invalid request URI or header, or unsupported nonstandard parameter: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<errors xmlns="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005">

  <code>invalid</code>
  <internalReason>Bad updated-min timestamp format: 2014-09-30T12:48:18.000001 00:00</internalReason>
 </error>
</errors>

My system is Ubunru 14.10, Evolution 3.12.6.

Before updating to Ubuntu 14.10 (in 14.04) it worked without an error.

Hello Ruben, or anyone else affected,

Accepted libgdata into utopic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgdata/0.16.1-1~ubuntu14.10.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Fixed by rm ~/.cache/evolution/addressbook/*/cache.xml, which probably had wrong timestamp recorded. You can replace * with directory where your address book cache is actually stored.

So that only fix it that the adressbook synchronizes for the first time (with all entries uploaded), but next synchronization fails with the same error. Seems to be related to:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780067

so libgdata22 0.17.8 should fix this (I have 0.17.7 on my 17.04).
