Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following extra packages will be installed: Big list but gave a missing file root@escau-desktop:/home/escau# Located the missing file and downloaded again from the Sourceforge site. Reran root@escau-desktop:/home/escau# apt-get install binarymeta4x Worked Sync now attempts to work when linking to Evolution. Firstly gave an error about the contact list (default) not present. Created an addressbook with one entry, so now, it does not give the first error but gives a calendar error. Although it does not copy anything from the Blackberry to the Evolution addressbook . Changed the config to select only contacts, no change. I have some tests using btool -l & btool -t as root which I will post tomorrow. Are there any other tests that you can suggest.
