Now that the but is fixed. How do I update my version of evolution? I currently show that I have version 2.12.1 and the information above says that the bug is fixed in 2.21.5. I have tried to use the Update manager to see if the new version is available, and it has not said that it is? What Now?

Re: [Bug 48679] Re: Birthdays before 1969 shows as birthdays in the future 2000+
Version 2.21.5 is available in Hardy (the development version of Ubuntu, which will be released in April). To get it into Gutsy this would need a Stable Release Update, but I don't think it qualifies for it (as it is no security vulnerability, crash nor important regression from previous releases). If you are really interested in using this new version I guess your best option would be to request a backport.

In my endeavors to find the source of this bug, I came across this

backend-contacts.c:
static struct icaltimetype
cdate_to_icaltime (EContactDate *cdate)
{
struct icaltimetype ret;
/*FIXME: this is a really _ugly_ (temporary) hack
* since several functions are still depending on the epoch,
* let entries start (earliest) at 19700101
*/
ret.year = cdate-year = 1970 ? cdate-year : 1970;
ret.month = cdate-month;
ret.day = cdate-day;
ret.is_date = TRUE;
ret.is_utc = FALSE;
ret.zone = NULL;
ret.is_daylight = FALSE;
ret.hour = ret.minute = ret.second = 0;
return ret;
}
The above temporary hack has been in there since revision 3557 in March
2004...

[Bug 48679] Re: Birthdays before 1969 shows as birthdays in the future 2000+
After a bit of playing around with some test contacts it's obvious what Evolution's Birthdays Anniversarys Calendar is doing with birthdates - anyone born before 1970 has the same age regardless of year they were born and is assumed to have been born in 1970. Attached screenshot shows 3 test contacts born 11th Nov in 1937, 1947 and 1957. Birthdates stored in EDS by Evo were corrected from 2037, 2047 and 2057 using Open Hand's Contacts. Evolution Calendar erroneously shows all three having the same age. GBirthday shows their correct age as calculated from birthdates stored in EDS. Is this a symptom of the same bug or should it be reported separately? Will copy upstream. ** Attachment added: Screenshot.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10333616/Screenshot.png -- Birthdays before 1969 shows as birthdays in the future 2000+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48679 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 48679] Re: Birthdays before 1969 shows as birthdays in the future 2000+
Still present in Gutsy/ Evo 2.12. I can also confirm the additional problem noted above by Barry Michels, it seems to be more than a simple locale issue - there is something seriously flawed with Evo's date calculations. For those of us with a locale setting that won't permit entering four-digit years in Evo, you can verify this by installing Openhand's Contacts which also uses EDS for storage: #apt-get install contacts Contacts uses four-digit years to edit birthdates stored in EDS. If you edit a contact record with Contacts to correct a birthdate of say 2066 to 1966 and then go to that date in 2007 in Evo's Birthdays Anniversarys Calendar you would expect to see an entry with (41) after it to indicate that date is that contact's 41st birthday. According to Evo however that person is 38 years old in 2007. Interesting maths! I verified that Contacts stores the date correctly in EDS by installing GBirthday which also uses EDS. The dates of upcoming birthdays (and ages) that have been corrected with Contacts are displayed correctly by GBirthday. Will copy this to upstream bug. -- Birthdays before 1969 shows as birthdays in the future 2000+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48679 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 48679] Re: Birthdays before 1969 shows as birthdays in the future 2000+
I was about to post a new bug report, but I think it's related to this one. Birthdays and Anniversaries before 1970 do not calculate properly. For example, create a new contact with a birthday in 1949 and when you go to the calendar, it says he'd be 38 years old in 2008. I'm entering the date as 01/01/1949 so there won't be any ambiguity. -- Birthdays before 1969 shows as birthdays in the future 2000+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48679 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can see why the locale affects input but I don't like the current implementation. If I enter 01/10/07 on a British locale I expect it to be interpreted as the 1st October 2007 not the 10th January 2007 (also notice how I expect the year to have been expanded to four digits). However there's a fair case for years to always be entered as four digits and two digit year entry to be simply rejected. -- Birthdays before 1969 shows as birthdays in the future 2000+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48679 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
