khal: Importing event without UID makes khal crash

I exported an event and a todo list item using calcurse to ics format with the following command: calcurse --export > mytest.ics It created the following:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID:-//calcurse//NONSGML v4.2.2//EN
VERSION:2.0
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:20170421T220000
DURATION:P0DT1H0M0S
SUMMARY:test calendar item created in calcurse
END:VEVENT
BEGIN:VTODO
PRIORITY:0
SUMMARY:New todo list item created with calcurse
END:VTODO
END:VCALENDAR

And running khal import -r mytest.ics gives me the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):

I’ve encountered the same problem and used the following bash script to automatically add UID’s to ics files.

#!/bin/bash
set -e
while read line
do
	echo $line
	if [ "$line" = "BEGIN:VEVENT" ]
	then
		echo "UID:$(head /dev/urandom | tr -dc A-Za-z0-9 | head -c 36)"
	fi
done
