Description Brad 2003-04-06 18:13:10 UTC 
Package: Evolution
Priority: Critical
Version: 1.2.3
Synopsis: LDAP Contact crash on update
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Contacts [was: Addressbook]

Description:
Description of Problem:
Updating a contact that is stored in an LDAP database
causes evolution (the address cards portion anyway)
to crash.

The problem really is centered around the fact that evolution
does not properly interpret and parse the homePostalAddress
attribute correctly.  I have imported a bunch of contacts into
my LDAP directory using the homePostalAddress so that
evolution will show the address properly.  I have used the
format specified by the RFC that says to separate the
fields with $ symbols.  evolution just puts the whole string
including the $ symbols into the address1 line.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1.  Manually add an entry to the LDAP directory according
to the attributes specified by evolution.  Note that I stored
the homePostalAddress according to the format specified
in RFC 1274 (using $ symbols between fields).
2. Search for a address in evolution and double click on it.
3. Correct the address in the evolution contact editor.
4. When I click on save/close, the address book portion of
    evolution crashes.

Additional Information:

Aside from the fact that this is very buggy and the contact
editor use of the homePostalAddress book doesn't comply
with RFC 1274, I would like to recommend that evolution 
store the address into the individual attributes that are
common to other common address books (Netscape, 
Mozilla, and Windows People Search/Address Book):

streetAddress: $street_address
l: $city
st: $state
postalCode: $zip_code

Setting qa contact to the default for this product.
   This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
