This depends on your OS and version. If you have
evolution-0.10-ximian.1 on Red Hat 6 or 7, you should upgrade to
0.10-ximian.2 if it's available. (I've made packages, but I'm not sure
if they're available yet. (I'm not using RH.))
Other than this, you should be fine to upgrade. I in fact discovered a
simpler way than has been described before. Try this:
killev
cd ~/evolution/local/Contacts/
cp addressbook.db addressbook.db.backup
db_upgrade addressbook.db
See if your contacts reappear. Once you're satisfied that they're
available and safe, you can delete the backup at your leisure.
Thanks,
Chris
