Cannot update contact in UbuntuOne Couch DB

[Rick Wilke]

Binary package hint: evolution

Updated to 11.04. Ubuntu Contacts synched to Evolution and contain the Category information. I attempted to add a Category to a contact. Got the message: "GDBUS.ERROR:org.gtk.GDBUS.UNMAPPEDGERROR.Quark._e_2ddata_2dbook_2derror.Code400: Cannot modify contact:BadRequest

This should be fixed with the latest packages in Natty, so please reopen if it's not for you

[Rick Wilke (rick70433a)]

I just ran Synaptic and updated. Attempted to add a Category to a Contact and got the same error message. What do you need me to do to help debug?

[sam tygier (samtygier)]

seen this error today on natty. i am up to date. I am paired to another local computer using the couchdb paring tool

[Rodrigo Moya (rodrigo-moya)]

Sam/Rick, can you please quit evolution and, on a terminal, run the following:

$ killall -9 e-addressbook-factory
$ COUCHDB_DEBUG_MESSAGES=1 /usr/lib/evolution/e-addressbook-factory

then open evolution and try accessing the U1 addressbook and when it's shown the error again, please copy the whole output in the terminal and paste it here

i tried again in GDB, but it did not crash, and the edit seemed to go through.

[Rodrigo Moya (rodrigo-moya)]

Sam, you are trying to connect to the system-wide CouchDB instance (127.0.0.1:5984), not to the Ubuntu One's one. Of course, it shouldn't crash, so if you can get a stacktrace, that would be great.

[Rick Wilke (rick70433a)]

Rodrigo -

I did the steps you said, but did not get anything beyond the messages
before I opened Evolution. It took a long time for the U1 address book to
open - seems to be trying to get it off the server rather than local. Then
I got the same error a I've reported before.

Log pasted below.

[Rodrigo Moya (rodrigo-moya)]

We really need a backtrace to know where it's crashed, so can you please try to get one via apport?

[sam tygier (samtygier)]

hopefully Bug #844598 has the backtrace that you need.
