  OK, on my system, what happens is that Evolution used to create and
read db1.85 files only, while now it creates and reads db2 files only
(and that's why the contact list appears as empty).  I have not yet
figured out why, but I am going to do this next.

  In the meantime, can you guys please verify that the same thing
happens on the system?  In order to check this, you should do the
following:

    $ file ~/evolution/local/Contacts/addressbook.db
    $ mv ~/evolution/local/Contacts/addressbook.db
    ~/evolution/local/Contacts/addressbook-backup.db
    $ evolution

    (Click on the Contacts folder, then exit Evolution normally.  This
    should create a new `addressbook.db' file)

    $ file ~/evolution/local/Contacts/addressbook.db

and let me know what the `file' command says in the two cases.
