Bug description

when launching cinnamon-calendar-server , this happens:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/cinnamon/cinnamon-calendar-server.py", line 16, in
gi.require_version('ICal', '3.0')
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/gi/init.py", line 153, in require_version
raise ValueError(f"Namespace {namespace} not available for version {version}")
ValueError: Namespace ICal not available for version 3.0

Steps to reproduce

launch cinnamon-calendar-server

Expected behavior

command launchs and calendar applet shows events

Additional information

libical version is 4.0.0

manually commenting the gi.require_version('ICal', '3.0') line in the py script fixes the issue

[claudiux]

Install gir1.2-ical-3.0 and libical3t64.

[davidbepo]

Install gir1.2-ical-3.0 and libical3t64.

none of those packages exist in manjaro

Could you try editing that file? (/usr/lib/cinnamon/cinnamon-calendar-server.py)

Delete line 16 (where that error is coming from), insert some lines and add:

try:
    gi.require_version('ICal', '4.0')
except ValueError:
    gi.require_version('ICal', '3.0')

It appears that nothing we use in this file is affected by the version change, so this could be all that's needed, but I have no machine to test it on at the moment.

Thanks!

I'm on CachyOS and I had the same issue. Adding those lines to the file solved the issue and now I can see events in the calendar applet, thanks!
