This is a reference for random guests and searchers.

I used these instructions almost completely, they are excellent and should be your first reference. The goal was to sync the phone with Evolution for Gnome (Evolution is a mail/contacts manager similar to Outlook).


Here is a log of the installations I did after adding the SyncE Repository :

# Import the key for the repository
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net 7D2C7A23BF810CD5

sudo apt-get install odccm librra0-tools librapi2-tools
