Prebuild deb-binaries from syncevolution.org do not work on ubuntu 20-04
As with ubuntu 20-04 there are no syncevolution apt-packages anymore I used the prebuilt binaries v1.5.3 from download.01.org. The mentioned apt-repository "deb https://download.01.org/syncevolution/apt" did not work for me as the key wasn't valid anymore and refreshing did not work. Just said "key unmodified".
What is the problem? It seems that syncevolution cannot retrieve any information locally from evolution.
How does the issue show up?
- syncevolution --print-databases produces no output at all. No error, no other info.
On a fresh installed older system based on apt-packages (ubuntu-18) I see Evolution addressbooks listed immediateley after install without having to configure anything.
- sync-ui starts but when clicking the "modify sync" button it says: "List of supported services cannot be retrieved from syncevolution" (My translation) Also the icon on the left is missing
Versions:
OS: Ubuntu 20-04 / 5.4.0-29-generic
Evolution: 3.36.1-2
Syncevolution: 1.5.3 from here:
Test:
ubuntu20$ syncevolution --version

Additional packages I installed from original ubuntu-20 repositories:
- To get the sync-ui to start:
sudo apt-get install libunique-1.0-0
- I just added to more packes that have been installed on my ubuntu19 machine but from the new ubuntu20 repo:
sudo apt-get install libsmltk0 sudo apt-get install libsynthesis0v5
tubuntu20:~$ sudo dpkg -l | grep evolution

Any idea what might be missing here?
Looking forward to your reply,
