Removing all Ubuntu One packages doesn't remove Ubuntu One Evolution address book

Hi, Thank you for the bug report. I'm going to assign this to one of our developers to look at. At the very least, you should be able to remove the Ubuntu One address book after uninstalling the software. Thank you, Joshua

Well, indeed you can't remove it, but not because we force it to stay, but because Evolution tries to call the evolution-couchdb backend to remove it, and since it's not installed, it fails and thus doesn't remove it at all. You can remove it by going to gconf-editor and removing the couchdb entry from the /apps/evolution/addressbook/sources config entry, but we should really have a better way to do it.

On uninstallation, it's not possible, since apt shouldn't have access to the users' gconf database, so the best way for now for you to remove it is to install evolution-couchdb again, run evolution and remove the 'Ubuntu One' addressbook, then force-shutdown evolution and then uninstall evolution-couchdb again.

I'll have a look at finding a better way, although, as I said, it's evolution which doesn't allow the removal, not ourselves forcing the addressbook to be there. In fact, with evo-couchdb removed, the addressbook won't work at all.

Well, that didn't work. I installed evolution-couchdb and it acted the same way when I tried to delete it. I right-click the ubuntu-one address book, choose delete and delete. Nothing happens.
I think CouchDB and Ubuntu-One should be removed from the list of installed packages. I really see no use for it. If someone wants it, they can install it later.

Will this bug be fixed in Ubuntu 10:04?

Marking as "Won't Fix" for Lucid final as the changes are too risky this late and the problem is not important enough to introduce this kind of risk.

This should be working now (removing the U1 addressbook when evolution-couchdb is still installed) on Lucid because of a fix in the underlying evolution code, which was the one not removing the addressbook from the configuration, so closing
