Re: [Evolution] Trouble with Contacts

[Rupert Heesom <raheesom btinternet com>]

I am having similar problems with the contacts to yourself.

I've just upgraded my Evo using Red Carpet to version -

evolution-0.13.99-snap.ximian.200109140708

I've found that when I try to scroll across the contacts window, then
the whole of Evo freezes.   In fact, within Gnome, I can't do a thing
then.  I had to go to one of the other text consoles (Ctl Alt F2 etc) to
get a command line and kill off Evo.

I have seen in Red Carpet that there is a contacts database update which
is only seen as an INSTALL not as an UPGRADE.  I wonder if this is the
cause of the problem?

I haven't installed the database upgrade (db3 or 4?), not wanting to
lose my contacts AGAIN.  Perhaps I need to install this anyway?
