RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Lars Bohnsack 2022-04-01 16:51:10 UTC 
Description of problem:
RHEL9 beta is shipped with evolution 3.40 which has unfortunately still the issue "Contacts API is being deprecated" 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.40

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a Google Online Account 
2. Start evolution
3. Switch to Contacts and click on Contacts of the Online Account

Actual results:
Error message:
Failed to connect address book “lbohnsac : Contacts”

Invalid request URI or header, or unsupported nonstandard parameter: Contacts API is being deprecated. Migrate to People API to retain programmatic access to Google Contacts. See https://developers.google.com/people/contacts-api-migration.

Expected results:
Access to the address book

Additional info:
There is evolution 3.42 available which fixes the issue.
Comment 1 Milan Crha 2022-04-04 06:43:37 UTC 
Thanks for a bug report. I guess I can backport relevant changes to the evolution-data-server [1] and evolution. The only downside is that there are two new translatable strings (which is the reason, why this change didn't reach the 3.40.x series upstream).

Comment 2 Milan Crha 2022-04-05 07:29:20 UTC 
The two new translatable strings mentioned in the comment #1 are:

   "Default User Address Book"
   "Address Book:"

I took translations from the current upstream development version, which covers .po files for ca, cs, da, de, el, es, eu, fr, fur, gl, hr, hu, id, it, ko, lt, lv, nb, nl, pl, pt, pt_BR, ro, ru, sl, sr, tr, uk, zh_CN. I took also partial translations (only one string) for eo, fi, kk, sk.

Of course, I do not speak those languages, thus it'll nice to have someone to check out whether it's a correct translation, but I trust the upstream translators (and to my copy&paste foo).

@ljanda: Could you verify the supported languages are covered and if not, provide translation for those strings in the missing languages, please?

I'll commit the current version for now, with a possible update later, when the translations are sorted out.
Comment 3 Lars Bohnsack 2022-04-05 07:32:03 UTC 
For German language i can help...
Comment 4 Milan Crha 2022-04-05 08:12:47 UTC 
(In reply to Lars Bohnsack from comment #3)
> For German language i can help...

Thanks. If I'm not mistaken, it's covered in the 'de' translation:

   "Default User Address Book"
   "Standard-Benutzer-Adressbuch"

   "Address Book:"
   "Adressbuch:"
