Description Matt Z. 2016-11-02 02:01:37 UTC

If I try to update a birthday item that is put into the calendar by KAddressBook (such as delete the event or change the event color), I get the usual message "You are not the organizer...". If I go ahead and make/allow the change, KOrganizer stops updating its associated CalDav file (Matt_Cal.ics), but oddly enough keeps its events correctly. If I delete the .ics file, all events disappear from calendar (as expected). But if I restore a backup copy (older info) the events show -- but are newer info (not same as backup).

This happens with any birthday (not just one) that comes from KAddressBook.

Also, if I delete the birthday info from KAddressbook, the event remains in the calendar.

The only clue I can offer is that the file: 
agent_config_akonadi_davgroupware_resource_#_changes.dat
looks strange after making the above change. When I first caught on to what was happening, it had grown to be over 1k in length and had a bunch of (seemingly) repeating information in it (directory & file names and such).

In order to fix this, I have to delete the calendar/resource and recreate it... and have to delete and recreate the CardDav file/resource (again, some kind of mismatch). So basically I have to start over. But once recreated, restored backup files display and work correctly.

This is repeatable for me - at least the three times I've tested it while trying to figure out why my phone calendar would not update (using DavDroid).

Thank you,
Matt

Distribution: Ubuntu 16.10

update...

After further research, I've found that there is as "ORGANIZER:" line item in all offending entries which was set to mattz_email... whereas all items/events that respond correctly did not have an "ORGANIZER:" line item entry. I have no idea where these items originated.

I went into the .ics file and deleted all entries with ORGANIZER line (and re-entered in calendar) and now everything seems to be working ok.

So I'm not sure if this is a bug or not.

HTH,
Matt Z.

Since reporting this bug, I switched to Thunderbird (lighter on resources & more focused on my specific need - only email, calendar, address book) because I do not need a 'suite'... so I cannot give further info on this bug... sorry...
