sync engine fails to read in partnerships if unconventional items are conatined in a partnership

[softcore]

Binary package hint: synce-sync-engine

synce-sync-engine 0.13 on ubuntu 8.10,

On windows partnerships birdisync adds a few new syncable categories to the partnership.
Even though a different partnership which does not contain any unknown items is used to sync with linux sync engine
parses the windows partnership and fails as soon it encounters the unknown GUID used for the non standard items (see end of the logfile below). If the partnership containing the non standard items is removed from the phone then everything works as expected. Simple fix: don't try to verify GUIDs for partnerships which are not used by sync engine!

Partnership WinXP on host ALEX is used on windows and doesn't need to be fully parsed.
Partnership ubuntu on host myosin is parsed correctly if the windows partnership is removed.

[Mark Ellis (mark-mpellis)]

Fixed in 0.15, should be in Maverick. The relevant patch is attached also.

[David Futcher (bobbo)]

According to previous commenter (who happens to be the upstream author), this should be fixed in release 0.15 which is now in Maverick. I will therefore mark this as fix released. If this is still a problem for anyone, please re-open the bug.
