            Bug ID: 386540
           Summary: iCal import fails with unhelpful error message
           Product: korganizer
           Version: 5.2.3
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: import/export
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: incoming-only at bordenrhodes.com
  Target Milestone: ---

I know that I'm reporting this bug against an old version of KOrganizer.
Unfortunately, it's the version that Debian testing and unstable are using, so,
until they update it, there will be bug reports against this release.

I can normally download .ics files from the Internet and import them directly
into KOrganizer. However, in doing so this evening, the import failed with the
error message: "An error occurred. Failed to load ical file, check
permissions."

I opened the .ical file in a text editor and it looks compliant. My issue is
with the error message. What does "check permissions" mean? Check permissions
of what? Akonadi? iCal folder? User account? If I knew, I might be able to
troubleshoot this error myself.

Reproducible: always (with this particular iCal file)
Desired behaviour: the error message should tell me what component or system is
not co-operating rather than show a 'PC load letter' message.
