[backup-restore] Evolution not restoring data from backup archive
Last modified: 2013-09-13 01:04:27 UTC
The bug report filled out here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/408603 "Evolution 2.27.5-0ubuntu1 I tried to restore my email from Evolution 2.26 archive (from Ubuntu 9.04) - the process began and after few seconds it looks like it's over and OK but after a second the archive import wizard pops up again and I repeated the procedure - no luck. Than I've created a null account and tried to restore my email through the File > Restore... - the same thing"
If you start Evolution from a terminal window and try this, is there any output?
this is the output from the console: andrey@om:~$ evolution ** (evolution:3825): DEBUG: mailto URL command: evolution %s ** (evolution:3825): DEBUG: mailto URL program: evolution ** Message: First result 0 .evolution/ ** Message: Second result 0 .evolution/backup-restore-gconf.xml ** Message: Third result 0 ** Message: Sanity check result 1:0 0 ** Message: First result 0 .evolution/ ** Message: Second result 0 .evolution/backup-restore-gconf.xml ** Message: Third result 0 ** Message: Cannot restore from an incorrect archive '/windowsD/soft/evolution-backup.tar.gz'. ** Message: evolution I used this archive to restore my email in Ubuntu 9.04 a couple days ago, so I think the archive is not corrupted
There is an another bug about that on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/409799
today I've got the same bug with Evolution 2.27.90
We have a downstream bug for this as well.
Created attachment 141927 [details] [review] fix patch for evolution; As that simple, some typo in the logic. If any packager wants to backport it, then should be doable. I'm going to commit to master and gnome-2-28.
Created commit d7534a2 in evo master (2.29.1+) Created commit 15c0690 in evo gnome-2-28 (2.27.92+)
thank you!
