Description Veerapuram Varadhan 2014-03-19 07:43:31 UTC 
Evolution fails to restore the account settings from a backup taken from evolution 3.2.x.

Apparently, while debugging using strace command, it looks like evolution searches for ~/.evolution and ~/.gconf directories while migrating older account/evolution settings and in this case, the .gconf directory was under .config/gconf and thus was failing.

As a workaround, I have created a soft link ~/.gconf pointing to ~/.config/gconf.

for evolution-data-server;

This checks whether ~/.config/gconf/ exists as the first, and if yes, then it is used for data migration, otherwise it fallbacks to ~/.gconf/ as before.
