pB calendarserver - Apple's Calendar Server

Is not installed. Seems to be the python-xml package, which is not installable. Broken deps.

In fact I think this is a problem with python-twisted-calendarserver and python-vobject. python-twisted-calendarserver is not in lucid. python-vobject conflicts with calendarserver << 2.0

[Jelle de Jong (jelledejong)]

I am having the same issue, an upgrade to lucid broke my calendarserver and now i can access my caldav system any more.

I knew the situation with calendarserver packaging was bad, but can somebody please fix the package so I can get my data out of the calendarserver and migrate to an ohter caldav server?

But Apple calendarserver is normally a good idea, so why not fixing it. Unfortunately I do not have the knowledge of how to do that, else I would...
