Re: [Evolution] contacts database problem

[scott carle <carle sccoast net>]

Thanks Chris:
I did what you said and it recreated the addressbook.db file however it
recreated it with the wrong permissions. I then changed the permissions
to the old ones and  ran evolution. the contacts component crashes now
when i open it. im not sure what to try next.any more help would be
welcome.

Also thank you Xav:
I tried your solution also, both before and after i did the above and it
did not work.
killev && killall wombat ...
actually killev seems to kill wombat  with out having to kill it
seperatly 
again any more suggestions would be welcome.
