Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution-data-server
Evolution does not support the 'givenName' LDAP attribute when using an
LDAP addressbook. This renders the use of LDAP-based addressbooks
somehow useless, because (1) most other LDAP-Clients support this field
and (2) Evolution can't write to an already present LDAP addressbook
entry that contains this attribute.
This is a real showstopper since Evolution is one of the few FOSS LDAP
clients who can also write to LDAP.
The solution is, however, a simple one-liner. It has been fixed in
upstream for 2.30 already, but I'd like to see this fixed for Lucid as
well, since Lucid is an LTS which will be used in organiations for quite
a while.
