iceowl has finally stopped working in debian sid (mozilla sunbird was discontinued upstream a long time ago).
Iceowl still works for me. I run debian testing with some packages cherry picked out of sid and sometimes experimental. At the moment I have
icedove 17.0.5-2 iceowl 1.9-3 iceowl-extension 17.0.5-2 calendar-google-provider 17.0.5-2
have you restarted iceowl since you upgraded to these versions? i've got all those (and calendar-timezones 17.0.5-2 too). mine was working fine until i restarted iceowl today. that's the bad news. the good news is that it looks like the problem was something in my default profile under ~/.mozilla/iceowl - i created a new profile, added my google calendar and it started working again. up until then, I was getting error messages about timezone 1.2011n being incompatible with the current version of iceowl. i lost my old local calendar with the new profile, but i don't care (it only had ancient events from before i started using google cal). i really only want it for syncing google calendar with my android phone & tablet. i'm still kind of surprised that there doesn't seem to be another standalone caldav client app around.
I'm quite dependent on it now so I hope support isn't about to be dropped?
it's been dropped for ages. the upstream mozilla sunbird project is dead, and debian seems ambivalent about it. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=668039 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=665653 OTOH, the iceowl package maintainer seems happy enough to keep it as an experimental and unstable only package (i.e. won't be in testing or in the next stable and probably not any future stable release) craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au> BOFH excuse #261: The Usenet news is out of date
