Hello Gentlemen The reason of my writing to you is that the package versions of "evolution" and "evolution-data-server" in "debian testing" (/debian/dists/testing/main/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2) seem to be "out of sync".
Downloading ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 (also i386) shows the following: > bzcat Packages-i386.bz2 | grep -A7 "^Package: evolution\(-data-server \)\?$" Package: evolution Priority: optional Section: gnome Installed-Size: 7735 Maintainer: Debian Evolution Maintainers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 2.12.3-1 Replaces: evolution-common (<< 2.6.2-3), evolution-plugins (<= 2.6.1-2) -- Package: evolution-data-server Priority: optional Section: gnome Installed-Size: 1080 Maintainer: Debian Evolution Maintainers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Source: evolution-data-server (1.12.2-1) Version: 1.12.2-1+b1 If I install these Versions (just "apt-get upgrade", in my case) the following problem comes up in Evolution: When trying to connect to a pop mailbox, using ssl, the "sending & receiving..." dialog doesn't appear any more, but a error message, saying "Cannot connect to pop.postmail.ch: SSL unavailable" appears instead and the mails are not fetched. If I do "apt-get install -t unstable evolution-data-server", version 1.12.3-1 gets installed and everything is fine. But it took me quiet a long time to find that simple solution! It doesn't make sense to me that the two Packages are not "in sync" (with evolution-data-server version always being "evolution version minus one", which is also not clear to me, but at least systematic). Obviously the two Packages heavily depend on each other and should always be in sync. Hopefully the problem will soon be solved for others and maybe a bit more care be taken in the future. Also, I think, evolution, is not the only place where such things happen, when packages are descending from "unstable" to "testing" - things sometimes stop working as seamlessly as they did in "unstable" - or am I missing something? Yours sincerely Patrick
