Re: [Evolution] Issue with CalDAV and deleting contacts

[Pete Biggs <pete biggs org uk>]

The subject says "CalDAV" do you really mean that? Is it actually
"CardDav"?

That sounds like a bug in the server since the error comes from the
HTTP transaction.  Perhaps try some other CardDAV client to test that.

You could also enable the relevant debugging on the addressbook factory
backend to see the exact chatter between the client and server - that
may give you a better idea of what's happening.

Can you modify the contact though?  If you can, just add a bogus
surname and then delete it.
