Could you run file in the addressbook.db? It could be that it's just in an older db format, and could be updated... You might try running db_upgrade (named db<version>_upgrade on gentoo, so db4.3_upgrade for me) on the file after backing it up, and see if evo can open it then. It looks like I had some problem characters within my contact's db and Evolution-2.6 crashed because of it. (Probably something left over from Evolution-1.x conversions.) How I resolved, downgraded back to: evolution-2.4 gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-1.4 Utilized the export filters within evolution-data-server package to export my database (manually and each contacts folder -- not to CVS but default db style). Saved the files to a safe place and then I upgraded to evolution-2.6 && evolution-data-server-1.6. Then, I manually imported each of the saved contacts db files. I'm pretty sure I used this procedure as I didn't write it down. I *should* have written it down so I could write a small article, but projects like this are just not fitting into my time schedule! Frustrating as I know the article would have helped many. I don't know how much data I lost with the manual export, but I'm guessing not much. I'm hopping it cleared out any problem characters evolution doesn't know how to handle. But all this is hopeful thinking! Might be a good thing to leave this bug as "NEW" so others can see what I did here to resolve. local issue, reporter resolved the issue. |
