Byzantium backports unofficial

What about libedataserver, libebook-contacts, ‘libgoa’?
Also evolution-data-server should be installed. Such package exist in backports but it seems that its version mismatched… In fact I have two version of libgoa-backend installed on my phone - 3.46 and 3.52. Have no idea why it happened.

Ok, lets check keyring and gnome-setting related packages:

May be there is some option to control this behavior or the module/library responsible for the priority that is familiar for you?

And this fixes the copy-paste error in the above commit: data: Really add gnome-clocks (!148) · Merge requests · Librem5 / feedbackd · GitLab to really use gnome-clocks app-id. But the idea remains the same.

By the way, it looks like packages can be downloaded directly from codeberg. The next line should be added into /etc/apt/sources.list

deb  [allow-insecure=yes] https://codeberg.org/galilley/librem5-byzantium-backports/raw/branch/main ./

I appear to be missing:

debian-keyring/byzantium,now 2021.07.26 all [installed,automatic]

but it did not help.

since these aren’t signed there is an error but using ‘deb [allow-insecure=yes]’ also still generates the following errors running “sudo apt update”.

“Encountered a section with no Package: header”
“Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/codeberg.org_galilley_librem5-byzantium-backports_src_branch_main_._Packages”
“The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened”

Turns put the issue here was far simpler…

My randomly generated passwords I was trying with both contained a \ char.

The error was something about parsing a string, so I figures I would try, and yes, changing my passwords to remove the \ got me connected again.

I will do a little digging and see if an Issue needs to be filed for Gnome Control Center or Libadwaita or whatever.

So, are you able to get the list of your contacts now?

Yup, all set!
I have very few issues now running your backports, and I’m not even sure they are attributable to your backports at this point.
