Is it true to say that all evolution users dist-upgrading from Squeeze will hit this then? The two bugs referenced are severity:important, so normally I'd nack this request, but it sounds like they should be higher... There's a work-around in #701603. It's not ideal (manual import of each folder), but would it be better to document that than bring this code change in? -- Jonathan Wiltshire jmw@debian.org Debian Developer http://people.debian.org/~jmw 4096R: 0xD3524C51 / 0A55 B7C5 1223 3942 86EC 74C3 5394 479D D352 4C51 <directhex> i have six years of solaris sysadmin experience, from 8->10. i am well qualified to say it is made from bonghits layered on top of bonghits
