Comment 9 for bug 666303

I've been experiencing this problem (using fully patched Maverick). Tried deleting the local CouchDB contacts databases but the black lines would always reappear after evolution obtained the U1 contacts data.

From previous comments – is this really a bug in the way evolution filters the data? - are they likely to reappear?

I followed the wiki guide to reset CouchDB contacts completely - this has allowed me to copy the contacts back to U1 and now the blank lines have gone.

A couple of things to note:-

To get to the CouchDB web interface I needed to use the following command in a terminal (remember to replace USERNAME with your user name!) and then bookmark the page.

xdg-open file:///home/YOURUSERNAME/.local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html

I didn’t bother with the backup step since I already had the data locally.

Download the python script from the wiki and reset the U1 contacts database:-

python ubuntuone-couchdb-query --http-method=DELETE contacts
