gscmxx-0.4.1-r1 does not work with latest scmxx-0.9.0 nor scmxx-0.8.2. It uses old parameters format to call scmxx. gscmxx calls scmxx while loading addressbook, this way (checked with 'ps axww'): /usr/bin/scmxx -d /dev/rfcomm1 -b 19200 --get --vcard=all --out - This do not work and when tried to call it directly, it prints: $ /usr/bin/scmxx -d /dev/rfcomm1 -b 19200 --get --vcard=all --out - /usr/bin/scmxx: unrecognized option `--vcard=all' Using "UTF-8" as system character set. Accessing device /dev/rfcomm1...done OK, a modem device is present. Detected SIEMENS S55 Error: you must specifiy a valid memory type. Correct and working call is: scmxx --get --binary --mem vcf --out - Latest scmxx that works with gscmxx for me was 0.7.5. I checked upstream a bit and it seems that gscmxx is not updated. Latest release is from 2002 and cvs activity is also in deep past.
This has been package.masked for gnome-1 removal -> WONTFIX.
