Re: Confounding behaviour of Empathy.
According to https://packages.debian.org/buster/gome/empathy, emapthy uses gnome-contacts. I can open the graphical interface to gnome-contacts and see that three contacts are registered. Nevertheless Empthy persists in showing 0 contacts and reporting "You haven't added any contacts yet". Any ideas? Thanks, ...

That goes beyond confounding; it's downright frustrating. Have you installed any of the "recommended" protocol packages (like 'telepathy-gabble', for instance)? If not, this might provide support for the justifiability of the default installation of recommends. BTW, am I dreaming or are you using a mail client that hasn't been maintained since the year 2000? Or am I getting that wrong somehow? I looked here: ftp://ftp.ssw.uni-linz.ac.at/pub/Oberon/ and read there http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Mail/muas.html > I guess others have encountered this connundrum.

Confounding behaviour of Empathy.
The Contacts List in Empathy notifies in bold letters, "You haven't added any contacts yet". Meanwhile the "Add Contact" button is pale grey; disabled. It needs a file initialized? A dependancy?
