importing ical gives an error

[Laura Czajkowski]

Saved the Ubuntu-ie ical to desktop. went to import the ical to my Google calender and I get the following error displayed on screen. Ubuntu-ie has events listed.

Processed zero events.

Failed to import events: Unable to process your ical/CSV file..

Error at line 184: Expected [VEVENT], read [VCALENDAR]

[Michael Hall (mhall119)]

Google Calendar doesn't like newlines in the event description. Evolution just ends reading the description at the first newline, but doesn't die.

Replacing newlines with "\n" in the description appears to work for both.

i think we should use something like http://codespeak.net/icalendar/

[Ronnie (ronnie.vd.c)]

I made a patch using python-vobject (standard in Ubuntu repositories)

Dependency added to INSTALL file

[Chris Johnston (cjohnston)]

Currently python-vobject isn't installed on cranberry. I was told it "shouldn't be a problem" to get it installed, however to ask in the RT ticket when we do the next update.
