Hi all,
since early May I am using syncevolution from command line to sync my bq
E4.5 against my desktop machine syncevolution syncml-http-server.
Everything was working as expected.
Since mid of June (according to the logs) I permanently get the
'Comparison was impossible.'
warning for all (memo, contacts, calendar, todo).
I additionally set logdir and maxlogdir entries as suggested in [1]
(which where commented out before). This mainly changed the location
where the dumps are written to and prevented log directories from being
auto-deleted during the following update, if they do not contain
changes. This makes analysis easier.
If I look at the previous database dumps, that are given as comparison
sources in the log files [2], all the files (e.g. VCARD-entries for
addressbook) seem to be there and contain reasonable data. A diff of a
previous *.after-dump and its successor *.before-dump will show the
expected changes, if an entry was modified.
So for me its not obvious, why I get the above message.
Any ideas what else can be causing the message?

Perhaps the perl script is failing.
The command which fails is (from the html log):
env CLIENT_TEST_COMPARISON_FAILED=10 CLIENT_TEST_LEFT_NAME='after last sync'
CLIENT_TEST_RIGHT_NAME='current data' CLIENT_TEST_REMOVED='removed since last
sync' CLIENT_TEST_ADDED='added since last sync' synccompare
'/home/phablet/.cache/syncevolution/MyDesktopMachine-sync/SyncEvolution-MyDesktopMachine-2015-07-27-15-43/addressbook.after'
'/home/phablet/.cache/syncevolution/MyDesktopMachine-sync/SyncEvolution-MyDesktopMachine-2015-07-27-16-55/addressbook.before
Try running that directly in a shell. It might show additional errors.

Thanks for the hint! The script seems to be missing MIME/Base64.pm:
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ env CLIENT_TEST_COMPARISON_FAILED=10
CLIENT_TEST_LEFT_NAME='after last sync' CLIENT_TEST_RIGHT_NAME='current
data' CLIENT_TEST_REMOVED='removed since last sync'
CLIENT_TEST_ADDED='added since last sync' synccompare
'/home/phablet/.cache/syncevolution/MyDesktopMachine-sync/SyncEvolution-MyDesktopMachine-2015-07-27-15-43/addressbook.after'
'/home/phablet/.cache/syncevolution/MyDesktopMachine-sync/SyncEvolution-MyDesktopMachine-2015-07-27-16-55/addressbook.before'
Can't locate MIME/Base64.pm in @INC (you may need to install the
MIME::Base64 module) (@INC

And yes, the perl system installed seems to be very "reduced", for some
reason.

On a standard (desktop) Ubuntu MIME/Base64.pm seem to be part of package
perl [1], which claims to be installed on the phone as well. But the
image-based update must have stripped most of the standard perl modules
(Probably on June 16: That was the time when the error started
occuring.).
I'm not very familiar with Ubuntu's image-based updates. So I cannot
easily verify the assumption. I'll try to find out more when I find some
time.
