Great! If you're not already looking at our requirements.txt files and trying to follow their guidance, I would suggest doing that. If you resolved this by upgrading to a version newer than what is stated in our requirements files, that would be good to know also.

Noted, thanks.

Do you have anything at /var/db/caldavd? If so, what is there? The default path for ServerRoot is /var/db/caldavd. I think (with help from Cyrus :) what's happening here is that the CLI argument processing ends up reaching into our config object at a time when it hasn't been initialized beyond the defaults values found in twistedcaldavd/stdconfig.py. This is likely a bug in the server, which seems to be brought to the fore by the combination of having stuff at /var/db/caldavd and also using a config file that defines a different ServerRoot.
