The original binary?
The sentence I wrote was vague. Since compiling from source, the
original .deb binary also works correctly.

So you compiled as root? Can you reinstall the syncevolution .deb and
check whether it still works?
I compiled with:
./configure
make
sudo make install <-- sudo installs as root
Removing and reinstalling the .deb still works. I'm still not sure
where the discrepancy is. Just ran a test by deleting libsynthesis* and
libsmltk* then reinstalling from the .deb and It still works fine. So I
don't think those libraries are where the problem was occurring.
Hopefully I can find a way to make the problem occur again.
