Re: [Evolution] "we were unable to open this addressbook" with 1.4

[Steve <gunhed57 newsguy com>]

I had the same problem the moment I upgraded to 1.4.3.
The problem is, now, I can't go back (it has converted all my data to
1.4.3 and left a ton of 1.2.x files behind to boot). 

Haven't seen any responses... does this pretty much mean we're SOL?

I'd sure like to know how to even start tracing this problem.
