Bug Description

In Empathy, when I choose two contact entries to link, nothing happens. The following appears in stdout:

(empathy:2669): empathy-WARNING **: Failed to link personas: Can't link personas with no primary store.

When I try to link two contact entries in gnome-contacts (which also uses folks), the application hangs and then crashes. (I would guess that it isn't handling the error).
