Hi, With the latest debian packages, 3.16.3-1.1 evo cannot any longer connect to Contacts and the gmail account:
Failed to connect to 'Contacts' Cannot find a corresponding account in the org.gnome.OnlineAccounts service from which to obtain a password for 'a...@gmail.com' Failed to connect account 'a...@gmail.com' The reported error was "Source 'a...@gmail.com' doesn't support prompt for credentials. The problematic package is evolution-data-server. I've filed a bug report on evolution-data-server #795287 to hopefully convince the evo maintainers to upgrade evo to 3.16.4 (where this bug is solved) or even to 3.16.5, for more info see: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/45394 I have also had contact with upstream evolution developers on the evolution-list where I was recommended to file a bug report, see e.g. https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2015-August/msg00026.html Hopefully the evolution maintainers will release a newer version of evo soon. Until then I'm stuck with a broken gmail account, see also below. Now to the main question: Following sid has normally been OK, having to accept packages being broken but possible to fix rather easily. However, downgrading evolution to 3.12.9~git20141130.241663-1+b1, especially evolution-data-server to 3.12.9~git20141128.5242b0-2+deb8u1/u2 results in a dependency hell. There seems to be no easy way to go back to a (working) previous version, not even to the stable version if packages in sid and/or experimental have been installed. Does a reasonably simple downgrade path exist? All ideas are welcomed! The only package manager I know of being able to have multiple versions installed is guix. Thanks
