To reply to my own e-mail: I looked at the 2.8.2 version of the OpenSuSE source
code, and it seems that EAddress and the other conduits seem to be broken. Of
course, I may be wrong because I had to manually apply the patches, but I'm
seeing over at Novell that this is definitely happening:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=235668. I've posted basically the
information below on the bug site as well.

One reason for the failure is that local_record_to_pilot_record() and
ecard_from_remote_record() were not converted to use the pi_buffer_t structure.
The function calls to the pilot-link functions pack_Address() and
unpack_Address() haven't been converted from pilot-link 0.11.x to 0.12.x.

Mainly, I think the problem stems from the fact that they need to completely
update the patch. The name of the patch in the source RPM is
evolution-2.2.0-port-to-pilot-link-0.12.patch, so it's pretty old (and probably
based on a preX build).

I'll be attaching a patch at the the Novell bug site soon. It's basically going
to be taking the original patches for the pilot-link conversion and remove the
pilot-link 0.11.8 pieces of the code. This will leave only the 0.12 pieces of
the pilot-link code in the conduits, which should allow the Evolution conduits
to compile directly on OpenSUSE 10.2 and above.
