Bug#879218: gnome-online-accounts all stop working at random

[Nathan Thomas]

Package: gnome-online-accounts
Version: 3.22.5-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

(I apologise in advance if this isn't the right format - let me know if you
need more info)

On Debian stable I have a few Google accounts, and IMAP account and two
Nextcloud accounts in gnome-online-accounts.
Generally these work, and I can access the relevant data in my apps (emails in
Evolution, files in Nautilus and Calendar e.t.c.).

Randomly, these will stop working and present messages such as "account does
not support prompt for credentials" and such in Evolution.

Removing and re-adding the accounts does not fix it, and neither does logging
out. Only a complete restart seems to fix the issue, and sometimes even this
doesn't work as the issue can be present from log-in.

I've spoken to Debarshi Ray on IRC who suggested I submit a downstream bug
report, pointing to the following:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764029

As it doesn't only happen when logging out (I can be logged in an entire day
before it happens) I've also been pointed to this report:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765406

Thanks,
Nathan
