Bug Description

After migrating from Mint 13 (32bit) to Mint 14 (64bit), and therefore having Evolution 3.6.2 now, I tried to import my fresh backup made right before the upgrade in Evolution 3.2.3.
After looking like it's doing the import, the setup wizard starts over again (and again...).

However, when I choose to do a manual setup of my accounts after the first import, all my data is present. Nevertheless it's still an issue to me, since I do not know all necessary account information to set up all seven of my email adresses manually, and two of them I tried are set up automatically, but in a wrong way (IMAP instead of POP, and no chioce for that; Different issue, however).

The issue can be reproduced as many times as desired, yet I have only tried about five or six times...

The bug was reported before:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=877562

and has received a fix over there, resulting in those two packages:
evolution-data-server-3.6.2-2.fc18,evolution-3.6.2-3.fc18

Could this please be fixed in Mint, too?

- - - UPDATE - - -

I added Mint 13's repositories into my sources.list, and forced a downgrade of all significant pakages containing "evolution" to v. 3.2.3.
This did NOT solve the issue: The wizard acts just as initially described. No success! PLS HELP!

Solved by wiping and reinstalling some packages. I tried hard to remember which one did the trick, but I sadly can't.
