Hello, I was waiting for the latest update pack in Linux Mint Debian to
try this. Evolution 3.8 is part of the updates, so I needed Syncevo.
1.3.99. I pulled it from the unstable repo., but it doesn't look good.

The GUI is sort of empty (no icon, no status) and if I choose "Change or
modify sync service", I get: "Impossible to retrieve the list of
supported services from Syncevolution". (I try my best to translate from
French.)

I tried to rename ~/.config/syncevolution, but no luck.

Fortunately this happened on a "test" PC, but I'd like to get it fixed
before applying these upgrades to the production PC.

I'm trying to attach a snapshot, but I'm not sure it will reach the
list.

Best regards,
