update decsync? #48

Closed visir closed 2 years ago

visir commented 2 years ago

Hello there,

maybe it's a dumb question, but Evolution seems to have a version problem with decsync: Uncaught Kotlin exception: org.decsync.library.UnsupportedVersionException maybe after a recent update. So I thought it might help to update decsync, but I can't find any description how to do it properly. Just downloading the recent installation package and double clicking it starts the software app, offering me to deinstall decsync... and I'm afraid I might lose data if I do that.

So how to update it properly? And could that be added in the readme?

Best regards!

Hello?

I think you have to update libdecsync first by preferably installing libdecsync-v2.2.1.deb.

thank you for that- this too offers me to deinstall first, when I double click it and it opens in ubuntu software - ? grafik

I don't understand what Ubuntu Software is trying to do (it can be counterintuitive sometimes), but if you try installing it in the terminal with sudo dpkg -i libdecsync-v2.2.1.deb it should give more information about what it is doing.

Well, it's already there (in whatever version), so the logical thing for Ubuntu Software is to deinstall - ?

Installing in the terminal worked and solved the problem, thanks!

Could the procedure of updating be added in the readme? Might help others like me. ;)
