Re: [Evolution] troubles with contacts (PS ximian linuxworld was great)

[Allan Gottlieb <gottlieb nyu edu>]

Now I am even more puzzled.  I decided to do a "start over" and ran
1.  go-gnome, which worked fine
2.  {helix, ximian} update, which reported no new packages
3.  Download Evolution snapshot, which appeared to work fine.

But again when I started evolution and tried to import my cards, it
failed.

Below is the output to the terminal from the run followed by the head
of the file I tried to import (but it looks like the latter is not
relevant).

thanks,
allan
