Dear Maintainer,

A recent upgrade broke Evolutions ability to update calendar events on the
radicale caldav server.

The underlying problem is due to evolution-data-server gaining support
for Transport-encoding: chunked, and radicale not supporting chunked.

There's apparently a patch at
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787656

We also tried figuring it out on the Radical side
https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale/issues/709

I tried building a copy of evolution-data-server with the patch in
3.26.0, but it didn't work for me. Although maybe I need to reboot.

I apparently hadn't installed enough evolution-data-server packages, or
hadn't restarted them. after installing more things and killing more e-
d-s processes the patch does work, and I was able to update an event.

Thanks @detrout / Diane. I actually talked to Jeremy about that and e-d-s
3.26.1 release (including the fix) is expected next Monday, and he should be
able to do an upload to Debian sid in the same timeframe.

Regards,
