This happened to me recently.  I run unstable.

It is a library dependency problem.  I had the same issue 
with only seeing the Tasks and not the Calendar view.

You need some gnome libraries.  Not sure exactly which ones....but I solved
the problem by doing an apt-get install gnome or something like that 
to get as much gnome stuff as possible.  If you got the disk space,
try it!  It should work.
