@Allen : This BT is the same as bug 159532 comment #3
Yes, this is a duplicate. And we get this alot. The problem is you have a binary attachment somewhere in your calendar and the 3rd party library we use for reading calendars doesn't work correctly with binary attachments. So, you need to remove the binary attachment somehow. Either by hand editing the calendar file, or by loading the calendar into another program, perhaps Sunbird. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 159532 ***
if I remove KDEHOME/share/apps/korganizer and kcal nothing changes, i have no idea about where the attachment could be but if i remove those dirs wouldn't the problem disappear (no calendar at all)?
