Re: [Evolution] migrate addressbook.db

[Carpetnailz <carpetnailz researchintegration org>]

Solution:
Work-around:
-I spent several hrs trying to find way to convert the BDB file to
SQLite, without success (or at least, without finding anything that
didn't look like it had a significant learning curve).
-I copied the old addressbook.db file to an old computer that had an old
Evo.
-I used that evo to save the addressbook to vCard format.
-I importe the list.vcf into the new Evo on the Fedora 17 box
