Description of problem:
Evolution went and erased all my settings (thank you evolution), so
I had to import my evolution tasks. However, they fail to import when
no task list is present. There's no indication of any kind that a task
list needs to be created by the user before importing. The user is
offered to select one of the existing task lists/groups, and unable to
select any where none are there. The user is furthermore not able to
create a task list/group from the import menu. 

The error presented is this:

Error loading
/home/phantom/.evolution/tasks/local/OnThisComputer/1088066939.3733.3@cobra/tasks.ics

which is not helpful in any way. 

What should be done:
Create an empty task list and put the tasks there.

... and all references to task lists and task groups should pick one
name and stick with it (right click on a task list, and it says Create
New Task List, while the NEW meny says Create New Task Group)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-1.5.91-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See summary

No indication that this will be fixed. 
I'll file upstream if I ever run into this issue again.
For now, closing, because I'd like all my ancient bugs gone.
