Ekiga destroys Evolution address book

[Pete Torgenrud]

Binary package hint: ekiga

Jaunty, Ekiga 3.2.0.

I decided to import contacts from Thunderbird to Evolution because Ekiga can use supposedly use these addresses. So I spent some time getting things organized, no problem. Then I configure Ekiga and take a look at the addressbook. Didn't change anything using Ekiga, just took a look. Then I closed Ekiga, did some other stuff and then I needed an Evolution contacts. Nothing there. Ekiga messed them up. addressbook.db and addressbook.db.summary are still there, but Evolution can't read them properly.

Yes, it's reproducible. I stupidly went through the process of importing my contacts twice before realizing that Ekiga was the problem.

Wow.

comment from upstream:

"Ekiga doesn't *write* in the addressbook unless asked to ; it merely reads from
it, using evolution-data-server.

Pushing to e-d-s, since the problem is certainly there."

Upstream tested with a recent version and said it seems to be fixed there
