This is the the outpu that appears on my screen:

I'll modify one record to see if that affects the output; one moment.

W/out echoing the full screen output, you can see that one record was 
touched and updated remotely.

I just notified Memotoo; here is the message that I sent:

Greetings,

My addressbook and calendar data originates using Evolution on my core 
computer using Evolution on Fedora 37 Linux.

I sync this data to Memotoo using Syncevolution, a multi-platform app.

For the last few months, Syncevolution had a major bug, one that is only 
being corrected now.

I can send my data to Memotoo via syncevolution, and it appears correctly.

When I download my data to my phone (Samsung A52) using Memotoo Sync, the 
default Samsung Calendar App shows multiple instances of the same event, 
one for each time that I have updated my phone data.

Before the last iteration I installed Astrid Tasks and the latest update 
of Memotoo Sync. Yet, the Samsun Calendar problem continues.

I thought that it could be a flaw of Samsung's Calendar App; but I 
downloaded other Calendar apps from Google Play, and the same problem 
occurs.


fyi,
