Bug#419630: kpilot: Restore from backup broken
Package: kpilot
Version: 4:3.5.5.dfsg.1-6
Severity: important
Sorry for the unhelpful subject line, but I see kpilot alternating
between two different broken behaviors.
Broken behavior #1
==================
I tried to restore my palmpilot from a backup today so I went to
"Restore from Backup" in Kpilot's interface. Although I thought I was
backing up, kpilot treated it as a normal hotsync and prompted me
about the existance of every record in my addressbook. (In this
instance kpilot did not present the confirmation dialog box concerning
restoring from a backup)
Broken behavior #2
==================
I tried again to restore my palmpilot thinking I may have chosen the
wrong menu item. Kpilot asked me to confirm that I would overwrite all
of the data on my palmpilot. Kpilot listed each of the databases that
should have been in the backup, complained that it could not access
any of them, even though the files were right where kpilot had
reported them as being, and they were readable.
I finally restored my palmpilot using pilot-link from the backups of
the databases found in kpilot's backup directory.
