Re: [Evolution] Trouble with gnome evolution

[Philippe Lefèvre <ph l libertysurf fr>]

Hello all.

Finally I tried to use FP since I could read on the site of this software that it "... enables us to run applications in a predictable environment with their most suitable library stack, without compromising the base OS's stability and flexibility"

I installed flatpak (I use Debian 11) as:
# apt install flatpak
# apt install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak
# flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

I then installed org.gnome.Evolution :

# flatpak install flathub org.gnome.Evolution

  ...

   7. [✓] org.gnome.Evolution                             stable            i            flathub            24,2 MB / 23,1 MB

I then launch Evolution 3.46.0 instance as my user and tried to create the link to Google Contacts but it failed :

# flatpak run org.gnome.Evolution

  Impossible de se connecter au carnet d’adresses « Google : Contacts »  :  Unable to connect to Google Contacts adress book

  Error performing TLS handshake: Un paquet TLS incorrect a été reçu.   : an incorrect TLS packet was received

I checked my iptables : nothing was dropped in/out

/var/log/syslog shows :

Anyone have an idea what's going on?

Thanks a lot.
