Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
On several machines upgrading from Hardy to Lucid I noticed that while
the contacts showed up in the address book, some contact's addresses
were missing.
I then found bug #289686 and did:
$ sudo apt-get install db4.8-util
$ evolution --force-shutdown
$ cd ~/.evolution/addressbook/local/system/
$ file ./addressbook.db
./addressbook.db: Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, native byte-order) # should be
'9'
$ db4.8_dump addressbook.db > blah.txt
$ mv addressbook.db addressbook.db.backup
$ cat blah.txt | db4.8_load addressbook.db
This converted it to 9, but the problem still remained, so I exported the whole
addressbook as a vcard and compared the contents for contacts where the address
did display, and ones where it didn't and found this in the ones that didn't
display:
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
...
ADR;TYPE=WORK,PREF:;Street;City;State;;
LABEL;TYPE=WORK,PREF:Street\nCity\, State
...
If I removed ',PREF' from these and imported them, they displayed in
evolution.
To fix a whole addressbook, can do:
1. 'File/Save Address Book as VCard' and save it as $HOME/old.vcf
2. $ sed 's/,PREF:/:/g' $HOME/old.vcf > $HOME/new.vcf
3. remove all contacts from contact list
4. File/Import and import new.vcf into the personal address book
