Evolution 3.42.3 cannot add DecSync in Accounts.

[Firstbober]

I installed evolution-decsync via AUR package and DecSync plugin will not show up in Edit → Preferences → Plugins or Edit → Accounts → Add

Does not work for me as well. Getting the error Failed to load module: /usr/lib/evolution/modules/module-cal-config-decsync.so when starting evolution in console. Also, downgrading Evolution back to 3.42.2 (where the plugin worked) did not solve the issue. Maybe it has something to do with the update of another Evolution dependency?

Okay, after researching a little bit, I figured out that the problem is not related to Evolution. It seems to be related to recent Arch updates regarding glibc and libcrypt. DecSync seems to depend on libcrypt.so.1 which is deprecated and no longer provided in Arch. This is also discussed in 39aldo39/libdecsync#14.

The solution is to install libxcrypt-compat, an AUR package that restores libcrypt.so.1. Optimally, this package is added as dependency of libdecsync itself in the future. I also rebuilt and reinstalled evolution-decsync to be sure and restarted all Evolution processes. Now the extension works again :)

install libxcrypt-compat

does not help the problem here. Terminal says that there is nothing to do as "libxcrypt-compat-4.4.28-1.fc36.x86_64" is already installed.

I will be grateful for other hints.
