I've tried doing the same thing on a different machine where the
Evolution calendar is empty except for a test entry, and things seem to
work fine. So this might well be a corrupted entry in the first
machine's default calendar, but the hex string in the error message
doesn't help me to find it.
The part before "-rid" should be the value of a UID property in that
default calendar. Have a look at the output of "syncevolution", it'll
tell you the path to the .ics file with the calendar data.
Make sure Evolution is not running (evolution --force-shutdown). Then
check that file, search for 040000008200... and remove the VEVENT which
contains it. Keep a copy, just in case.
One reason for this kind of failure is a VEVENT which refers to a
VTIMEZONE (via TZID) which is not available. The .ics file is corrupt in
such a case. There was a user with this problem before; we were
uncertain how to handle this and thus don't have a workaround in
SyncEvolution.
