Description of problem: Clock applet display of Evoution appointments has wrong time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-applets-2.16.0.1-12.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter an aapointment in Evolution for sometime between March 11 and April 1 2007 2. Open clock applet calendar and display the appointment date 3. Observe time of appointment Actual results: Appointment time dispayed is one hour later than appointment time in Evo calendar Expected results: Appointment time should agree with Evo calendar Additional info: Incorrect display occurs every year in the weeks between old and new DST changes.
I see this same inssue on my FC6 install. Also of note is that the correct "time" is displayed in the clock applet, it's just that evolution appointments are shown in the pop up calendar display with an extra hour. As mentioend, within evolution they are displayed at the correc time.
I have this same problem in FC6, appointments are displayed as starting one hour later than they actually do while they look fine in Evolution itself. Though you're right, it looks like they're the correct time again starting in April. Odd.
what version of evolution-data-server do you guys have installed?
Also, if you grab the version sitting in -updates-testing does the problem magically fix itself?
(In reply to comment #3) > what version of evolution-data-server do you guys have installed? FC6 latest production is evolution-data-server-1.8.3-2.fc6.
evolution-data-server-1.8.3-3.fc6 just hit FC6 Updates Final minutes ago. This is the update with the DST changes.
Just installed evolution-data-server-1.8.3-3.fc6 (from updates-testing, apparently just before it moved). It doesn not--repeat, does not--resolve this issue. Today's 4pm appt still shows as starting at 5pm.
Sorry, I'm wrong. My 4pm appt. has been moved to 5pm in Evo! And it now shows as 5pm in the clock applet as well. I'm not sure I'd call it progress, but it does appear to resove this bug.
Wait, so your saying this update added an extra hour to all your appointments (meaning you now have to go back and change them again to the correct time)? If so did this also change the times for appointments in April and beyond to the incorrect time? This would not be a good solution if I have to go back and change all my appointments back to the correct time after this update. I'm specially worried about reocurring appointments that extend from within march to april and beyond. A little hesitant to try this update given the number of appointments I may have to go back and correct.
Uh, if that's what the update does then it's worse than leaving this bug present..

Have you checked to see if the same extra hour was applied to appointments in the October 28th-November4th time frame (the other additional DST 1 week this year). I haven't been able to test on a system of my own, not doing that update on my FC6 workstation, to many appointments in that time frame to go back and change. Soon as I have a chance I can try it on a test system.

One thing to add here: The appts. that have been moved also display a pushpin icon, which the other appts do not show.
He's right, I just got it from stable updates and it completely borked my evolution calendar in addition to the clock applet. Why was this thing still pushed to stable updates if people are complaining about it? You should really pull this update as soon as possible, this is just really bad QA. It's a good thing i made backups and found evolution-data-server-1.8.3-2.fc6 rpms.
At least I didn't have to manually restore my backed up data so this should be easy to fix.
No need to restore anything. Backing off to evolution-data-server-1.8.3-2.fc6 returns all Evo calendar entries to the correct time but leaves the clock applet times off by an hour, as in the original bug report. The old version is still in the Updates repo. What I don't know is, what other apps are affected by having one or the other version of evolution-data-server installed.
