The problem with the alarm in the clock-app is that the entries are visible,
but they can not be modified or activated. The Ubuntu in the phone stores
the alarm entries in some ICS file:

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/.local/share/evolution/tasks/1541104807.16107.0@ubuntu-phablet$ ls -l
total 8
-rw-rw-r-- 1 phablet phablet 1495 Jul  7 19:44 tasks.ics
-rw-rw-r-- 1 phablet phablet 3471 Jul  2 02:15 tasks.ics.broken

If I rename the 'tasks.ics' to 'tasks.ics.broken' and restart the phone to
get all evo backends restarted, I can enter new alarm values and a new
file 'tasks.ics' will be created. All is fine. I thought that the old
file (renamed to 'tasks.ics.broken' and which I posted to this list) contains
invalid/corrupted entries. If this seems not to be the case, I will not
debug further this issue (simple, because I have no time for this nearly
insignificant issue).

The related processes in the phone are (just for the record):

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/.local/share/evolution/tasks/1541104807.16107.0@ubuntu-phablet$ ps ax | grep evo

Btw: Canonical (Ubuntu) has abandoned this project and it's now maintained by some FOSS community
UBports.com.
