-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:
Creation of a new contact in kontact, when pressing the "OK" button
Crashes indepentently of the address book chosen: Default "Persönliche
Kontakte" (= Personal contacts?) or CardDAV
- Unusual behavior I noticed:
The tab "Ort" (= Location) of the window "Neuer Kontakt" (=New contact) shows
the error message
"Fehlende Module. Bitte überprüfen Sie Ihre Installation"
(=Missing module, please check your installation)
Trying to find missing modules:
root@machine ubuntiger]# kontact --list

--profile=$PROFILEDIR $DOC || xdg-open $DOC
seems to be formally correct. But I do NOT understand that line, so I do NOT
know if this is also technically correct.
And I have no idea if this is related to the problem or if it is another topic.
At least it looks better:
[root@machine ubuntiger]# kontact --list

System is original Fedora 27 with all updates (dnf update) available as of
today.
The crash can be reproduced every time.
