Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Oneiric Ocelot.
This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.

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 [<?xml version="1.0"?> <group uid="1227068757.7280.2@repo" name="Google" base_uri="google://" readonly="no"/> ,<?xml version="1.0"?> <group uid="1227068757.7280.3@repo" name="WebDAV" base_uri="webdav://" readonly="no"/> ,<?xml version="1.0"?> <group uid="1227068758.7280.4@repo" name="On This Computer" base_uri="local:" readonly="no"><source uid="1247672993.1257...@n8-laptop.ianbmacdonald.com" name="Autocompleted" uri="file:///home/imac/.evolution/addressbook/local/1247672993.1257...@n8-laptop.ianbmacdonald.com" relative_uri="1247672993.1257...@n8-laptop.ianbmacdonald.com"><properties><property name="use-in-contacts-calendar" value="0"/></properties></source><source uid="1248182182.857...@n8-laptop.ianbmacdonald.com" name="Personal" relative_uri="system"><properties><property name="use-in-contacts-calendar" value="0"/><property name="remember_password" value="false"/></properties></source><source uid="1255615812.3005...@n8-laptop.ianbmacdonald.com" name="Palm Contacts" uri="file:///home/imac/.evolution/addressbook/local/1255615812.3005...@n8-laptop.ianbmacdonald.com" relative_uri="1255615812.3005...@n8-laptop.ianbmacdonald.com"><properties><property name="use-in-contacts-calendar" value="0"/><property name="pilot-sync" value="true"/></properties></source></group> ,<?xml version="1.0"?> <group uid="1227068758.7280.6@repo" name="On LDAP Servers" base_uri="ldap://"; readonly="no"/> ,<?xml version="1.0"?> <group uid="1256843691.1052...@n8-laptop.ianbmacdonald.com" name="CouchDB" base_uri="couchdb://" readonly="no"><source uid="1256843691.1052...@n8-laptop.ianbmacdonald.com" name="Ubuntu One" relative_uri="127.0.0.1"><properties><property name="couchdb_instance" value="user"/><property name="remember_password" value="false"/></properties></source></group> ] 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 Removing deprecated attribute from source 2 [Autocompleted] Removing deprecated attribute from source 2 [Palm Contacts] imac@repo:~$ gconftool-2 --get /apps/evolution/addressbook/sources [<?xml version="1.0"?> <group uid="1227068757.7280.2@repo" name="Google" base_uri="google://" readonly="no"/> ,<?xml version="1.0"?> <group uid="1227068757.7280.3@repo" name="WebDAV" base_uri="webdav://" readonly="no"/> ,<?xml version="1.0"?> <group base_uri="local:" name="On This Computer" readonly="no" uid="1227068758.7280.4@repo"><source name="Autocompleted" relative_uri="1247672993.1257...@n8-laptop.ianbmacdonald.com" uid="1247672993.1257...@n8-laptop.ianbmacdonald.com"><properties><property name="use-in-contacts-calendar" value="0" /></properties></source><source name="Personal" relative_uri="system" uid="1248182182.857...@n8-laptop.ianbmacdonald.com"><properties><property name="use-in-contacts-calendar" value="0" /><property name="remember_password" value="false" /></properties></source><source name="Palm Contacts" relative_uri="1255615812.3005...@n8-laptop.ianbmacdonald.com" uid="1255615812.3005...@n8-laptop.ianbmacdonald.com"><properties><property name="use-in-contacts-calendar" value="0" /><property name="pilot-sync" value="true" /></properties></source></group> ,<?xml version="1.0"?> <group uid="1227068758.7280.6@repo" name="On LDAP Servers" base_uri="ldap://"; readonly="no"/> ,<?xml version="1.0"?> <group uid="1256843691.1052...@n8-laptop.ianbmacdonald.com" name="CouchDB" base_uri="couchdb://" readonly="no"><source uid="1256843691.1052...@n8-laptop.ianbmacdonald.com" name="Ubuntu One" relative_uri="127.0.0.1"><properties><property name="couchdb_instance" value="user"/><property name="remember_password" value="false"/></properties></source></group> FYI, I backed everything up before even starting my upgrade; YMMV on this workaround.
