Title:
Evolution failed to properly migrate Local Contacts during 2.32
(Natty) Upgrade
Status in The Evolution Mail & Calendaring Tool:
Incomplete
Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: evolution
After upgrading to Natty following the Beta 1 release, my local
contacts were not correctly migrated.
After the upgrade I could not access two of my three addressbooks.
The "Personal" addressbook was accessible, however my older "Palm
Contacts" (legacy data) and "Autocompleted" (used by the plugin) did
not migrate. They had entries in Evolution, but resulted in URI error
below.
This address book cannot be opened. This either means that an incorrect URI
was entered, or the server is unreachable.
Detailed error message: Invalid source
Initially thought was related to bug 752468, but I know now is a
result of this incorrect migration. Looking at the URI/sources I had
the following entries with the broken addressbooks/contact lists.
imac@repo:~$ gconftool-2 --get /apps/evolution/addressbook/sources

I know from reviewing this related bug comment that the above sources (uri=)
were not correctly modified, except for the "Personal" where uri="system".
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=632962#c7
based on this comment I executed a python script designed to fix this
problem, found here:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/gnome/howtos/gnome-2.32-upgrade.xml
The fix-addressbook.py script worked after I changed the permissions
for execution, and by modifying the first line to match the local
python2.7 interpreter path.
The same output now looks like below, and my contacts are totally
accessible.
imac@repo:~$ ./fix-addressbook.py

FYI, I backed everything up before even starting my upgrade; YMMV on
this workaround.
