As Iron Bone already pointed out, I can also confirm that the performed fix does not seem to solve the problem: As soon as I switched back from home:/fcrozat:/branches:/openSUSE:/Leap:/42.1:/Update/standard/ to the official Leap update repo and updated the packages to: - libical1-1.0.1-11.1.x86_64 - evolution-3.16.5-4.8.x86_64 the problem was back an recurring calendar items for X occurences are again repeated for infinity, as initially reported.
