got many duplicate contact entries after palm sync
Last modified: 2013-09-13 12:24:56 UTC
Description of Problem: After a palm sync with gnome-pilotd there were dublicate records in the contacts database and some of the appointments have duplicates too - next time they have triplicates and so on... Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. add record on palm contacts 2. hotsync 3. record is in evolution 4. hotsync Actual Results: 2 identical records in contacts Expected Results: merging of records, or if records are identical: no change How often does this happen? Everytime I sync there is one more record in evolution Additional Information: At some point all of these records ended up in my palm as well, but I forgot under what circumstances... With jpilot and Gnomecal/Gnomecard this never happened.
I'm seeing this, too - although in my case, records are correctly displayed in Evolution (if there's supposed to be one record, then there is one record) but they are duplicated on my Palm V. There are never more than one additional record per erroneous record. It may have something to do with the internal id tag of the records. I recall having looked at the output of gpilotd while running as a foreground process in a terminal, and there were some equality tests running by that suggested Evolution (or the Calendar conduit, I'm not aware of how this works internally) was looking at the record id's and found a negative match where the match should be positive. I can perform tests if needed; just tell me what to do.
Appears to be a dup of 15724. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 215724 ***
