[Evolution] Can't access 'contact list'

[Jan I Sander <jan sander plus com>]

Hello.
I recently installed Linux Mint (Cinnamon) v17.2 on my PC and loaded 
Evolution.  I then copied a backup copy of my Evolution data from an 
other PC which runs Ubuntu  15.04.The copy process appeared to work 
except that address book cannot be accessed.  The error message I get is:
"This address book cannot be opened.  Please check that the path 
/home/jan/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/1302677073 2078 5 jan-home 
exists and that permissions are set to access it.
Detailed error message: Unable to connect to 'TC': Error introspecting 
unknown summary field 'file_as_localized'"
I note that the Evolution on the later Linux Mint is 3.10.4;  that on 
the earlier Ubuntu is 3.12.11.
Is there a way of updating the Evolution on my Mint system?
Thanks.
Jan
