Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution-data-server

When the option to synchronize with Pidgin contact list is on, evolution-data-server keeps adding them periodically, disregarding the fact that all of my contacts already are in the address book. This leads to my addressbook.db being > 70MB and growing, high CPU/disk usage, Evolution becomes unresponsive (regardless of what I am doing at that time -- reading e-mail, composing, configuring etc.). I've traced the bug by attaching (strace -p) to a running evolution-data-server-1.12. I can provide more data if necessary, but I think this will suffice for now. Please ask for additional logs as you deem appropriate.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

As far as I can remember, the Pidgin synchronisation plugin is extremely simple, and the entries will have to match exactly (between Pidgin and the Contacts). If they do not, then the plugin will re-add them. If you have it running periodically... it may get worse. I think this was a bit changed on 2.22, so indeed it would be good to test there.

Right now I would disable this plugin.
