Howto fix a problem deleting contacts from a local address book
evolution 3.12.9 on fedora 21 x64, fedup'd from fedora 20 clean install
when the error message is: "foreign key constraint failed"
This might have something to do with migrating data from earlier
versions of evolution.
The simplest fix:
1) In Evolution, create a new addressbook "on this computer"
2) Still in Evolution, copy your contacts to this new addressbook
3) Close Evolution
4) Ensure evolution-addressbook-factory has terminated
$ ps aux | grep evolution
5) Rename ~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system folder to
something else Note: the brave may prefer to simply delete
this folder. It will be recreated the when Evolution is next
launched. The temporary addressbook is in a different folder.
6) Launch Evolution, copy contacts back to the automatically created
Personal addressbook
7) Delete the address book created to temporarily store your contacts.
