It starts by saying

"start gconf-editor, go to /apps/evolution/addressbook/source"

I don't think I can do that.  When I open gconf-editor,  I can find on
the left
/apps/evolution/addressbook

but I don't find source under that on the left.  I do find
completion, display, and select_names.  Highlighting those doesn't
indicate any source or sources on the right.

Similarly, for
/apps/evolution/calendar
None of the fields under that are source(s)
But if I highlight calendar,  I do see a lot on the right under two
columns Name and Value. One of the fields under Name is sources, but I
can't seem to pick that out to be edited,  and I wouldn't have the
foggiest idea how to edit it if I could.

> From your description, it seems I should be finding sources on the left
under calendar, and if I highlight it,  I should see something on the
right which shows two versions of On this computer, and I should be able
to delete one of them---or something like that which I should see how to
edit.

But I don't see anything like that,  which suggests to me that the mixup
is more basic and requires detailed editing which perhaps gconf-editor
is not setup to do.

So  I can't figure out how to continue with

"and edit
it manually to point to the right places."
