Hi,

I lost my contacts list when I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10

For the records, Ubuntu 11.10 ships Evolution 3.2.2-.

  (Actually, I
did several upgrades in a row...)  Anyway, it looks like I still have
the "addressbook.db" and "contacts.db" files backed up in several
locations.  Is there a way I can get these back? 

What are the exact steps that you perform and what is the output / what
do you see?

Hi, 
Unfortunately, I did not do the right thing and back up the full data
with "Back up Evolution Data..."  I was working with version 10.10

That is an Ubuntu version?

everything was fine.  I have a backup of that system as it was but again
I didn't do the official "Back up Evolution Data..." thing.  So all I
have are the actual files "addressbook.db, contacts.db" folders etc...
Then I made sure I was up to date and I upgraded to 10.04

To 10.04 from 10.10, as you wrote above? Or did you mean 09.10?

; Then again, I
made sure that was all up to date, and immediately upgraded again to
10.10.  I didn't check evolution between these upgrades, but each time I
did the distro upgrade, I made sure the system was up to date first.
I'm hoping there is a way that I can import the data some how.  As far
as these upgrades go, everything seems fine.  When I opened evolution,
my data was gone including email, calendars, and contacts, but my
settings were in tact (accounts logins etc).  I took this opportunity to
change up my email anyway so I'm not worried about the mail, but I can't
seem to get my contacts back.

You are now using Ubuntu 11.10 which wasn't mentioned yet in your steps.
