[Calendarserver-maintainers] Bug#536884: calendarserver: twistedcaldav sudoers exception in default install

[Aidan Delaney]

Package: calendarserver
Version: 1.2.dfsg-8
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


I've installed caldavserver and copied the example accounts.xml and the .plist configuration
file to the required directory in /etc/.  I've also made my / filesystem user_xattr.  When
accessing localhost:8008/calendars/test/calendar I get the below unhandled excpetion in 
error.log.  I have seen this error on the web, but no solution was obvious.
