Bug Description
Impact
======
Some bugs in evolution-
Therefore, this update changes the API key used by those using the GNOME Online Accounts feature for Google services.
Test Case
=========
Restart your computer after applying the updates.
Then use Evolution with a Google account configured by gnome-control-
Make sure that Evolution works without getting authentication errors with your Google services.
Regression Potential
=======
I think the only possibility for regression is if GNOME did not configure the key correctly with Google's developer platform.
Other Info
==========
This was fixed in zesty in gnome-online-
This update depends on the evolution-
We can't fix this for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS until we figure out how to backport the needed e-d-s changed there.
I believe Evolution has three ways to use Google services: 1) GNOME Online Accounts 2) evolution-
The errors are much less common for the e-d-s API key so upstream does not intend to change that key. The e-d-s key is new, only existing in Ubuntu 16.10 and above. (It's not even used in the Ubuntu 16.04 GNOME3 Staging PPA since --disable-
Similarly, Ubuntu Online Accounts does not currently appear to be impacted (LP: #1650007).
