A note to the nice workaround that Jamie provided: in my case, PREF was separated from the previous attribute by ';'. Thus, check your exported vcf and use the correct sed command. A trivial change; nevertheless I provide for those readers with no sed experience the version of command 2 I had to use:
2. $ sed 's/;PREF:/:/g' $HOME/old.vcf > $HOME/new.vcf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/581843 Title: after upgrade from hardy, evolution does not display addresses Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: 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.
