Hi
I'm having trouble trying to retrieve address-books after migrating from
Fedora Core 3 (Evolution 2.0.2) to Debian Sarge (2.0.4).
For all of the rest of the data, a simple copy/paste of the items to the
new /.evolution directory was enough. For the addressbook, the main one
("system") was also immediately accessible too. But not the "sub"
addressbooks I had created (which are filed
in /.evolution/addressbook/local with a code number). I tried importing
them, specifying ldif format, nothing (that I could think of) worked.
It doesn't seem to be a distribution related problem, because I
reinstalled Fedora on another hd, with no more success.
It seems to me there must be a file related to the generation of the
code names of the files, but I couldn't find anything about it.
Could someone help me with this?
Or at least tell me how to get to read the db files?
If this is a already reported issue, would you be so kind as to point me
the bug issue or the thread?
Thanks a lot
I had a similar problem migrating from 1.4 SuSE 9.0 to 2.2 SuSE 9.3. The
sub-addressbooks were not transferred as part of the migration process.
Fortunately I still had access to to the SuSE 9.0 partition. So I was
able to open 1.4 select all the contacts in the sub-addressbooks and
save each sub-addressbook as a single vcf file. I then recreated the
sub-addressbooks in 2.2 and imported the vcf files.
