Description Oliver Dain 2002-05-02 12:36:53 UTC
Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
are doing.
Description of Problem:
Synching with the palm pilot doesn't actually synchronize -- it only copies
from the palm.


Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Take a palm pilot with data already in it and put some data in the
evolution calendar, task list and address book.

2. Now set up the conduits so that the palm overwrites evolution for
address book, calendar and task list.  Now synch the palm.  As expected the
palm overwrites all the data in evolution.

3. Now, in evolution, add a new appointment in calendar, add a new task in
the task list and change an email address in the calendar.  Also delete one
task.  Do not change anything on the palm.  Set up the conduits so they are
set to synchronize.  Synch the palm.

Actual Results:

The new appointment and task are not copied to the palm but they are not
deleted from evolution either.  The task that was deleted is copied back to
evolution from the palm.  The contact with the changed email address is now
duplicted on both the palm and in evolution (e.g. there are now 2 contacts
in one with the old and one with the new address). 

Expected Results:

The new appointment and task should have been copied to the palm.  The
deleted taks should have been deleted from the task list on the palm.  The
contact should have remained the same in evolution and changed accordingly
on the palm.  None of this happened.

How often does this happen? 

Always.  I am not able to synch my palm with evolution ever.  I can copy
data from the palm to evolution but not vice versa.  I don't know if this
is because I first set things up with the conduits set to copy everything
from the palm to evolution or not.  If I had started with an empty palm and
simply copied from evolution first pehaps things would have worked.  It may
also have something to do with the fact that I synch this palm with my
computer at work as well as my home machine.

Are you able to provide the command line output of gpilotd while syncing?
