Bug#410638: libsoup: Error in status parsing routine causes Evolution CalDAV failure

[Andrew McMillan]

Package: libsoup
Version: 2.2.99-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

I have just filed http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406997
(which includes a patch) for this bug.  There is a full description
there of the issue and it's effects, but essentially it boils down
to a function which has been rewritten with better error checking and
an entirely new bug in a lesser-used code path.

The patch I have attached to the upstream bug makes Evolution's CalDAV
plugin work for me, and this problem with libsoup affects the versions
of Evolution in both Unstable and Experimental.

Thanks,
Andrew McMillan.
