Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thank you for your bug report.

errors.ubuntu.com says that issue got reported 228 this month and is the most frequent bug on indicator-sync, Charles do you think you could have a look before raring?

[Charles Kerr (charlesk)]

Seb, yes.

Judging from the retrace, this appears to be a duplicate of bug #1063003, which I'm already looking at. I'll close this as a duplicate and raise 1063003's importance to 'High' to match this ticket.
