What version are you using (or which commit/patches)? What's the return value? - Check if a *.new file is created. - Check file/directory permissions and owner/group and ACL. - Check save_database() from database.c which does: 1° fopen(<db>.new, "w")) or exit 2° if list isn't empty, write it to <db>.new [ never exit here ] 3° if access(<db>) rename(<db>, <db>~) (happens in your case) [ otherwise returns -1 ] 4° rename(<db>.new, <db>) [ otherwise returns -1 ] A simple $ strace -e trace=file abook may give you a hint about what's (probably) wrong with your filesystem "configuration". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New Year.
