Bug Description

Binary package hint: tasque

I installed the latest package in Jaunty, when I started the application it showed the preference dialog, but the list of available backands is empty. So one cannot use the application.

Here is the console output

[Debug]: Tasque remote control active.

Looks like whoever build Tasque only built the EDS backend, but forgot to make it depend on evolution-sharp.

I highly recommend at least building the RTM and SQLite backends; they are less buggy than EDS and other backends. Use configure flags --enable-backend-rtm and --enable-backend-sqlite .

Actually, looking at the Jaunty package, it appears to enable RTM and SQLite, too. I guess the problem is just caused by evolution-sharp being missing?

Incidentally, the package also excludes the debug files (*.mdb), which kind of sucks.

Actually, the problem here appears to be with the evolution-sharp package. I have people telling me they have evolution-sharp installed, but it does not appear in their GAC (`gacutil -l | grep evo` returns nothing). Trying to install /usr/lib/cli/evolution-sharp-3.0/evolution-sharp.dll into the GAC revealed that it was not properly signed.

I don't have any Ubuntu VMs set up so I haven't looked into it myself.

I just filed a related upstream bug, advocated splitting backends into their own assemblies to prevent problems like this:

spitfire can you make debdiffs of your fixes for evolution-sharp and tasque and attach them to this bug so we can get this fix in for Jaunty?

I'm no longer using GNOME and Tasque, and I probably won't have time to do this.
Anyone willing to fix that one can find "fixed" packages (including fixed evolution-sharp) in tasque-packagers PPA.
