evolution-data-server@3.44.4 or above don't connect with Nextcloud
online account

## Steps to reproduce

The following steps assume you are using Guix System x86_64 with GNOME
desktop/X11

1. fresh install with guix-system-install-1.4.0.x86_64-linux.iso (or the
devel iso: sp7lgxn1q3d37536dwq2r5r9yd18jw50-image.iso)

2. guix package -i evolution-data-server
(i.e: evolution-data-server@3.45.3 with
guix-system-install-1.4.0)
(i.e: evolution-data-server@3.46.0 with
sp7lgxn1q3d37536dwq2r5r9yd18jw50-image.iso)

3. optional: guix package -i evolution

4. go to Settings, connect to a Nexcloud account

## Expected result

+ Calendar (or Evolution) connect to the Nexcloud account and can manage
calendars and address books (display existing calendars/address books,
add new item or delete item).
+ Files connect to the Nexcloud account and display online documents.

## Unexpected result

+ Calendar (or Evolution) can't connect to the Nexcloud account and
display nor manage nothing (or only display the calendars list) with
this error:

Address book:
Impossible de se connecter au carnet d’adresses « CardDAV : Sans nom »
Échec avec l’erreur HTTP 405 : Method Not Allowed

Calendars:
Impossible de se connecter à l’agenda « Sur le Web : Next_Ponctuel »
Bad Request

Impossible de se connecter à « username@nl.tab.digital »
Erreur de résolution de « username@nl.tab.digital » : Nom ou service
inconnu

+ (side note: Files connect perfectly to the Nexcloud account and
display online documents)


## Workaround

1. fresh install with guix-system-install-1.3.0.x86_64-linux.iso

2. guix package -i evolution-data-server (i.e:
evolution-data-server@3.34.2)

3. optional: guix package -i evolution

4. go to Settings connect to a Nexcloud account

Result:
-> Calendar (and Evolution) connect to the Nexcloud account and can
manage calendars and address books (display existing calendars/address
books, add new item or delete item).
-> Files connect to the Nexcloud account and display online documents.

## Additional information

+ Upgrade from evolution-data-server@3.34.2 to
evolution-data-server@3.46.0 partially fails:
1. fresh install with guix-system-install-1.3.0.x86_64-linux.iso
2. guix package -i evolution-data-server (i.e:
evolution-data-server@3.34.2)
3. guix pull & sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm & reboot &
guix package -u
Result:
-> Calendar (and Evolution) connect to the Nexcloud account and can
manage calendars and address books (display existing calendars/address
books, add new item or delete item).
But: Evolution displays the same error messages as above (see: ##
Unexpected result)
Files connect to the Nexcloud account and display online documents.

+ Downgrade from evolution-data-server@3.45.3 to
evolution-data-server@3.44.4 fails:
1. fresh install with >= guix-system-install-1.4.0.x86_64-linux.iso
2. guix package -i evolution-data-server@3.44.4
Result:
-> Same error: Calendar (or Evolution) can't connect to the Nexcloud
account and display nor manage nothing.

+ Downgrade from evolution-data-server@3.45.3 to
evolution-data-server@3.34.2 fails:
1. fresh install with guix-system-install-1.4.0.x86_64-linux.iso
2. guix package -i evolution-data-server@3.34.2
Result:
-> no package found

The currently packaged evolution also appears to suffer from other
issues (see e.g. https://issues.guix.gnu.org/62942) You may want to
try that patch or wait for it to be upstreamed.

As a matter of principle, don't install Guix from old ISOs. Instead,
use `guix time-machine' or inferiors with Scheme.

None of this is useful. For accurate version information, use `guix
describe'.

IIUC the fix to that one is to install evolution-data-server in the
operating-system packages rather than on the user level. Since
evolution is tied to its data-server, you'd need to have both in the
operating-system (my personal fix is to extend the gnome package so as
to include them both, but that's besides the point). Since evolution
launches for you, this bug doesn't seem apply, however.

Cheers
