Ah, it looks like db_upgrade is new to db3.  If you're not on RH7,
you'll probably have to use the old method (cp addressbook.db
addressbook.db.bkup ; db_dump185 addressbook.db.bkup | db_load
addressbook.db).  This should be fixed soon.  I expect future versions
of evolution to automatically upgrade if necessary.
